Thousands of fellow firefighters, family, and friends said goodbye to Los Angeles Firefighter Glenn Allen. Allen, 61, was one of six firefighters injured when a ceiling collapsed while they were battling a mansion fire in the Hollywood Hills February 16. Allen died on the 18th, the day before his first grandchild was born. He was a firefighter/paramedic for over 36 years.

Engine 97 carried his flag-draped casket to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels for Friday’s funeral.
