at a terrific local fundraiser for Rim Special
Athletes, a group which provides adults,
children and veterans with disabilities a safe
positive recreation.

Local 935 brother William “Billy” DeHart died
off-duty. In his short time with County fire, he
made an impact on us with his charisma and
passion for his job.

brand new Type 1 engine, a 4x4 KME. Thanks

The kids got a station tour as well as first hand
experience handling fire hose.

welcomed newborn Zephyr Nicholas into the
world on October 10! Welcome to 935 Zephyr!
