Please post condolences for the Canadian firefighter who died Monday while battling an apartment fire. He was one week away from having 29 years on the job and two months from retirement. The article in the paper was correct.
Firefighters are family.
On behalf of the Town of Pantego and the paid and volunteer members of the Pantego Fire Department, our heartfelt prayers for the family of Captain Pat Carey. It is with great sadness that we read the tragic story of our brother who had proudly served for 29 years. His unfinished career is just a reminder that the task at hand is a never ending one. I am sure that he will be sadly missed by all that had the pleasure to have known him. My prayers and thoughts are with you all during this painful time.
