The 540 at the bottom on the front is the badge number of Firefighter Allen "Gonzo" Martin of Ladder 8, who gave the supreme sacrifice on January 6, 1997, while fighting a fire on the 2nd floor of a residence when the roof fell in. His sacrifice has been remembered every year since, in front of that residence, by a small group of firefighters, friends, & family. Next year in 2022 will be the 25th anniversary.
