Damon deployment

Tuesday:

Early morning on April 22, 2014, we started hearing about a Line of Duty Death in Damon, Texas. As the morning went on, it was reported that the Chief Ferguson with the Damon Fire Dept had went down on a fire scene. At this time the Task Force was on standby waiting for more info to come in. The call came in mid morning that the Task Force has been ask to deploy to Damon. We sent a member to Damon to start a needs assessment, with the first need being, post Honor Guards with Chief Ferguson. After the needs assessment was done, I was ask to deploy as the Logistics Officer.

Wednesday:

Day 1 in Damon. The day started with getting Chief Ferguson back home. Once paperwork was done and a full Fire escort was in place, Chief Ferguson was on his way home. Once Chief was back and Honor Guards here in place the next stop would be Damon ISD to check on a location for the memorial service.
