On June 23, 2016, Eric Speck and his crew responded to a medical call at the Dakota City Jail. Speck began not feeling well during the call but continued with patient care and returned to service.
After his shift, he went to the hospital where he remained until June 27, 2016, when he passed away due to cardiac arrest.
Speck was employed with the Omaha Tribal Rescue in Macy, NE, and was the Fire Captain with the Dakota City Fire Department for 15 years. His knowledge, dedication, and commitment will be missed by many.
