What do you like least about being a firefighter? What I dislike most of being in the fire service is seeing life or property loss.
What is the most exciting moment of your years in service? The most exciting moment in my years of service was last year in 2018 finding out that for the first time in the history of La Feria Fire & Rescue we would have the first ever fulltime firefighters.
What’s the best part of service in La Feria? My favorite thing about being an Assistant Fire Chief here in the city of La Feria is that I can help train and pass along information that I learned over the years. Sharing the knowledge that I have to other firefighters to help keep the citizens of La Feria safer each and every day.
