Testa, Frank E. – Clark County Fire Department (April 11, 1970)
On April 11, 1970, just two short years after the death of Colin Hanley, the department lost a second firefighter in the line of duty. Captain Frank Testa died while fighting a fire at the Stardust hotel. The Stardust found itself engulfed in flames, which had begun in a utility room. The fire rapidly and damaged more than 100 rooms. Captain Testa suffered a heart attack while fighting the blaze. Efforts to revive him were to no avail. Captain Testa was pronounced dead on arrival at Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital.
