Melton worked with Birmingham Fire and Rescue for over a year, but graduated from the recruit academy a month ago, Mayor Woodfin said. “When I look at his photo, you can see the potential and pride in his eyes. So much of that potential will now go unrealized," Woodfin said. “Jordan had developed close ties with his fellow firefighters, which makes this loss all the more tragic. Birmingham Fire is so much more than a collection of employees, they are a family in every sense of the word. And right now, that family is in a lot of pain," he added.
