Lehi firefighter Jake Beck holds the flag that was draped over the casket of his wife, firefighter Amanda Hadfield Beck, Tuesday at Lehi Cemetery. Next to Beck is his mother, Rebecca Beck. "Mandi" Beck, 27, Lehi's first female firefighter, died Friday of cancer. Firetrucks lined the street to honor Mandi Beck, who graduated from Lehi High and Utah Valley State College and became a firefighter in 1999. She was diagnosed with cancer four years later. Flags in Lehi and nearby cities have been at half-staff, and the hearse entered the cemetery under a U.S. flag held high between two ladder trucks. Her fellow firefighters held numerous fund-raisers to help pay for her medical expenses.
