A CADDO PARISH, LOUISIANA, FIREFIGHTER DIED FRIDAY when the tanker he was driving to a fire overturned. Traveling an unfamiliar road on a mutual-aid response, Eric Speed lost control when he entered a severe curve in the roadway. The 3,000 gal. tanker rolled into the ditch and wedged into a pine tree that penetrated the truck cab.
