From the small town of Chandler, Texas us here at the vol. fire dept. are incredably sorry to hear of the loss of a brother firefighter. Company 10 and the family of this hero will be in our prayers and the memory of our brother firefighter will live in our hearts.

[GFD 520]

Today a firefighter has left us, not fallen to the beast, but to the hazards that go along with the job of being a firefighter. Many people wonder why firefighters do what they do for people. I think it's because there are men and women, like Bob Crump, who love being firefighters. My condolences go to the family of Robert Crump and the Denver Fire Dept. You will be in our prayers and MAY GOD BLESS!!!!!!
