City of Dallas Firefighter; died in a traffic accident, while responding to a call.
Patrick Galligan was commended for bravery following the destruction of the Main hotel which burned in January 1920, at which time several persons lost their lives. It was through the efforts of Captain Galligan that the death list was not greater. He was injured at the time, being caught under a heavy awning which fell with a number of firemen. He was known among the members of the department and has many friends as "Fighting Pat," the name being given him because of his courage in fighting fire.
Captain Galligan was unmarried. His mother and father are Andrew and Honora Fitzpatrick Galligan, of Ireland. He has a brother residing in Austin, Texas. The body was turned over to the Welland Undertaking Company where it is being held pending funeral arrangements.
Galligan was one of the most popular of local firemen and there was gloom throughout the department when the news of his death became known. Soon after the Main hotel fire, Galligan paid a visit to his parents in Ireland while recovering from his injuries.
