On January 29, 1988, then Deputy Chief Jim Yvorra was killed in the line of duty when he was struck by a car while operating on an accident scene on I-495 at Good Luck Road.

Jimmy was a friend, teacher, coach, and mentor to many at the Berwyn Heights Volunteer Fire Department.  As with others who have gone before us, his work has made us who we are today.  He has been missed and will never be forgotten.  Rest in peace brother.
