Thank you all for your love and support this past year. We couldn't do what we do without you.
Stay Safe tonight and throughout the year.
Please pray for his family and friends as well as the Volunteers who had to attempt life saving measures on their dear friend. This is why we do it but also why so many have to leave.
The flag at station 650 was lowered to half staff tonight to honor former member, strongest supporter, neighbor, and good friend Kurt Bluhm who died suddenly last night. Texas Flame and Plasma ( Kurt Bluhm) was the epitome of the American Spirit. 1/3
There was not a charity or organization in the surrounding community that he did not give to generously and oftentimes without being asked. We have all been blessed by his generosity. The flag will remain at half staff for 1 week in his honor. 2/3
