Jack Boleyn

Jack Boleyn, a volunteer Fire Chief, died from injuries sustained when he was pinned by a heavy timber that fell when a store roof collapsed during the blaze he was fighting and he was scalded by hundreds of gallons of hot water. Boleyn had organized Tucson’s first fire department in 1890, and he had become its first captain three years later, continuing as head of the volunteers after his retirement and in command of a small squad when he died.
