Fireman Crivelli was one of four firefighters injured while responding to a small stove fire at Daniels and South Flores.  The injured firemen were responding out of Engine House #6 at South Alamo and Lavaca when their horse drawn hose wagon overturned at South Presa St. and South Alamo Streets.  Witnesses at the scene stated that the wagon’s wheels hit and slid along the streetcar tracks causing the wagon to overturn spilling the four firefighters onto the street. Fireman Crivelli’s head hit one of the tracks and rendered him unconscious. He was taken to a nearby drug store where a physician was summoned and his wounds were dressed. He was transported to Santa Rosa Hospital and succumbed to his injury on January 20^th 1908 at the city hospital. Surviving Crivelli was his father, three brothers and a sister. He resided with his father on Milam Street.
