Moulton Fire Department honored two fallen heroes with a private memorial—and a special invitation for the public on social media—last Thursday on the 15th anniversary of the fire that claimed the lives of Capt. Lloyd McCulloch and Volunteer Firefighter Dustin “Dusty” Jones.
“February 21st will always hold a special place in our hearts. That night, we lost two brothers in our brotherhood,” a Feb. 21 post on the Moulton Fire Department’s Facebook page states. “In memory of Lloyd and Dusty, stop by your local fire station and thank those who are there to serve you.”
The fire began at Outdoor Parts and Service Inc, also known as the Littrell Lumber Co. building, on Morgan Street in Moulton. “The fire had been discovered in late afternoon and firefighters from several county departments had responded,” A 2006 report in The Moulton Advertiser states. “The cavernous old building was totally destroyed.”
