Congratulations to three of our Texas City Fire Department firefighters on reaching an important milestone in their career!

Last week, Firefighter Albrie Favalora, Firefighter Bishop Wolfbrandt and Firefighter Terry Stenson were recognized for successfully completing their first year of fire service.

Fire Chief Dennis Harris presented each of the firefighters with their permanent shield, a time-honored tradition in fire service that represents the work these firefighters have put in, the calls they've answered and the trust that the department is placing in them moving forward.

Congratulations again to each of these firefighters, and thank you for your service and dedication to our community!
