Thanks, Chuck I thought that he was the first Chief of the Special Operations bureau. Those are large boots for his successor to fill.

Michael, three of the four snorkels. Squad 7 wasn’t there.

Mike was the first Chief of Special Operations. Good fireman and a good, decent guy.

What great shots of the three Snorkels extended with the American flag between them. That’s an appropriate send off for Chief Fox. I know that he was the Chief of Special Operations for a while now, but I was wondering if he was the first? I know that special operations has been a relatively new bureau as the companies were originally part of the bureau of fire extinguishment.

Nice to see all three of the city snorkel’s were there! How have the new Squads been working out, since they were placed in service earlier this year?
