In Memory of Jarret Dixon
Sunday, January 13, 2008 It is with deep regret that we advise you that at approximately 1300 hours, Fire Apparatus Driver Operator Jarrett Dixon, 36 years old, of the Baltimore County Fire Department suffered cardiac arrest and was not revived.
FADO Dixon had developed chest pains at work while conducting physical training at his assigned duty Fire Station 5 "B" Shift on Wednesday. He was treated and transported by EMS personnel from his career station to a local hospital. Following a "negative" cardiac catheterization on Thursday, he was released to home. While at home, Jarrett tragically suffered a seizure followed by Cardiac Arrest while being transported by his volunteer company (Liberty Road Vol. FD) EMS to a local hospital.
Fire Apparatus Driver Operator Jarrett Dixon is survived by his 5 year old son Gavin, his significant other Pricilla Johnson and his parents. Our sincere condolences to the members of the Baltimore County FD, Station 5 crew, the Liberty Road VFD (Baltimore County 46), his family...but especially his surviving 5 year old Son.
He will be missed by all.
