PHOTOS: At 2:30 in the morning on his 20th birthday, Glen Ellman was on his way home from an event when he noticed a row house on fire. Then a photojournalism student at Syracuse University, Ellman pulled over, took out his camera and started taking pictures. Four firefighters lost their lives that night in 1978, and Ellman was the only person who captured images from the tragedy that sent shockwaves through the city. โFrom there, I was never unemployed. I never really had to go look for a job my whole life, and I always remembered where I came from,โ he said. After nearly two decades working in journalism, including a little over a dozen years as chief photographer at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Ellman was recruited to join the Fort Worth Fire Department in 2002.
