Huntsville Fire Department Nostalgia
HFD Photo Gallery
When I joined the fire department in 1985, it was one of the proudest moments in my life. Over the years, with the support of Randy Shinn, Terry Long, and a host of others, I worked hard to transform us into an interior attack team. I can only hope the next generation of HFD members love her as much as we did.
