The Daisy Mountain Fire Department is mourning the loss of firefighter Luke Jones, who died as a result of injuries sustained in a Phoenix nightclub assault. The incident occurred while Firefighter Jones was off-duty sometime during the night of January 21.
Firefighter Jones was a twelve year veteran of the Daisy Mountain Fire Department. He leaves behind his wife and daughter.
Daisy Mountain Fire Department Fire Chief Mark Nichols issued a statement:
Today the Daisy Mountain Fire Department is coming together to mourn the loss of one of our own, Firefighter Paramedic Luke Jones. He was a twelve-year veteran that leaves behind a wife and daughter. The information we have at this time is limited. We do know that the circumstances of his death are currently under investigation by the Phoenix Police Department. We are very humbled and thankful for the out pouring of support, well wishes, and prayers from the community and the public safety family. As information becomes available we will pass that along as soon as possible. On behalf of Luke’s immediate and fire department family, we ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Especially for those who still must respond to emergency’s while grieving for our loss.
Although we are grieving Luke’s loss, Luke would want us to continue to serve the public as faithfully as he did for twelve years.
