Firefighters pay tribute to slain officer

OGDEN -- Firefighters are lining both sides of Washington Boulevard, south of 25th Street, to honor Ogden police officer Jared Francom, whose funeral procession will pass along that route.

Two Ogden Fire Department ladder trucks have used their ladders to form an arch over the street, with an American flag hanging from the ladders.

Bob Ramos, 87, a veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam, was one of the first people along Washington Boulevard. He became emotional talking about the officers.

"Its like a GI going to the front," he said of the police officers' work. "You don't know if you're going to come back."
