Utah State Firemen’s Association members and North Davis Fire District firefighters recently spent a Saturday building a ramp for retired firefighter Mike Becraft, who now uses a wheelchair for mobility because of progressive supranuclear palsy, a brain disease with no known cause, treatment or cure. Becraft, 65, started his firefighting career in Roy at 18 and retired as North Davis Fire District fire inspector in 2010. Because Becraft needed a ramp from his house to his garage, North Davis Fire District firefighters Kevin Lloyd (from left), Luke Watkins and Jeremy Krage jumped in to work with Capt. Mark Weekes and others to build and install it. The materials were donated. (Contributed photo)
