Escambia Fire Rescue Lieutenant Terrell Jackson, 38, Passes Away

January 10, 2023

Escambia County Fire Rescue is mourning the passing of Lt. Terrell Jackson. He passed away after experiencing a medical emergency on Monday. He was 38-years old.

Lt. Jackson began his career with ECFR as a volunteer firefighter in 2007 with the Ferry Pass Volunteer Fire Department. On July 18, 2013, Jackson became a fulltime firefighter. As a career firefighter, he demonstrated a dedicated work ethic and compassion that led to his promotion to lieutenant on October 2, 2021.

As a lieutenant, Jackson continued to show his dedication and passion for the job as he mentored firefighters and worked as the company officer on several different assignments. He has been described as a “firefighter’s firefighter” and has always led through his actions.

“Lt. Jackson has been a long-time member of the ECFR family and not only served his community but also served his country,” said Deputy Fire Chief Paul Williams. “I pray that his family, friends, and brother and sister firefighters can find peace in knowing his legacy and memory will live on.”

“Lt. Jackson was the truest definition of a public servant as a Navy veteran and a firefighter,” said Fire Chief Jason Catrambone. “His life was one of a servant to all around him. He will be remembered and missed.”

Escambia County Fire Rescue is asking  everyone to keep his family and the fire department family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

    My love and prayers to the family. He looks like he was a brave and honorable man. There are so many medical emergencies happening right now and it is so sad. So many people passing away unexpectedly.

    Man this definitely hurts, I remember back in the Norfolk days we had a blast during deployment. And we took a ride to PG County to show you what the fire department was like. Rest Easy Brother I’m lost for words
