On April 25, 1927 Chief Chapman was riding in the command seat on the pumper as it traveled on the state highway in Harford County. Suddenly, the fire engine crashed into a roadside bank, overturned, and fatally injured Chief Chapman. Chief George R. Chapman was 53 years old. Number of years served are unknown at this time.
