Robert "Jake" JacobsenBorn: October 13, 1945Died: December 24, 2011
Jake was "just your basichero" devoting his working life to public safety.  He was a dedicated firefighter, a member ofthe first paramedics in Utah, and served as a crewmember on LifeFlight.  In 1984, he founded Burn Pattern Analysis anddevoted 25 years to private fire investigation. ______________________________________
I met Jake only once, but Idedicated Love on Laird Avenue (aka, Household Repairs) to him.  As an author, I wanted to come up with aunique way to blow up a house.  I called mylocal fire department and was met with great concern about wanting to blow up ahouse.  The fire chief said it would beagainst regulations for him to give me that kind of information but that heknew someone who could help me.  That ledme to Jake at Burn Pattern Analysis.
I remember Jake laughingabout the situation when I called.  Hehappily agreed to meet with me for an interview.  He had the most wonderful ideas for my book.  I enjoyed talking with him so much that I didn'twant the interview to end.  The world trulylost one of the good guys.  He was indeed"your basic hero."
