Hundreds lined the streets of Marked Tree to honor their former fire chief.
Jamie McCrary was not only a hero who rushed into burning homes but, he was a man that was all about his family and community. KAIT reported.
He died after a battle with cancer.
Firefighter Clarence Parrish was just one of people McCrary mentored.
“He taught me how to hold brooders up, how to run the trucks, and how to put out fires and how to fight fires,” Parrish said.
