Chaplain Program Instituted in the AFD:
Captain Don Coker served the Arlington Fire Department for over
31 years. During his career, he participated in and led many
member support programs. His compassion and concern for others
was clearly demonstrated during his fire service career and now in
his retirement life. His presence has had an immediate impact on
our organization. He has visited with many current and retired AFD
members in need of support and was critical to the emotional
support of the Brownwood firefighter‘s family after the fatal incident
at the Ballpark.
