Wayne Township Announces the Line of Duty Death Of Firefighter Rodrick Shane Lambert (January 11, 1972 - August 10, 2024)

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the line-of-duty death of Wayne Township firefighter Rodrick Shane Lambert. Firefighter Lambert bravely served our community for three years and was a dedicated and valued department member.
Firefighter Lambert passed away at 5:30 a.m. on August 10, 2024, from paralysis and other complications he suffered on May 24, 1995, when the fire engine he was riding in overturned. This 1995 fire engine accident also claimed the life of Wayne Township Firefighter Ronald Deer.
Over the last 30 years, Rod was a fixture at Wayne Township fire stations, visiting often and bringing his incredible spirit and smile, inspiring others to never give up on life's challenges.
Firefighter Lambert was buried with honors at the Heros of Public Safety Memorial at Crown Hill Cemetary on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. Godspeed, Rod, we will take it from here.
