A series of caches to memorialize fallen firefighters in Nevada
Rhoads, Stanley M. – Barrick Goldstrike Mine ERT (April 11, 1994) On April 11, Stanley Rhoads, a member of the Barrick Goldstrike Mine Emergency Response Team, was on his way to work when a fire broke out in a gold refinery building. After arriving, he was witnessed putting on his personal protective clothing and SCBA. Two hours later, members of a
volunteer fire department that had responded to the fire found his body inside the fire building. He had apparently entered the structure independently and ran out of air inside the refinery. Commanders did not know he was on the fire scene until his body was removed. The initial fire
attack was described as “hectic” to the Nevada State Fire Marshal that investigated the report. His death was attributed to smoke inhalation.
