Biography
Nadar actually means rare and unique, but he was such a wonderful young man his name was redefined: loving, kind, generous are better words to describe Nadar. He will always be remembered as an angel.<br /> <br /> Nadar Ali Hammett, 29, was killed in the line of duty on December 1, 2003. He was driving home from his department-mandated paramedic training class when his vehicle was struck by another vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle left the scene of the accident, only to return a while later to report the accident and summon help. Nadar's car was knocked off the roadway, rolled over, and hit a tree. He died of internal trauma.<br /> <br /> Nadar joined the Prince George's County Fire Department in 2000. He loved his job very much. He served three years with Prince George's County Fire Department as an EMT/Firefighter. He had planned to become a paramedic.
