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.
