somebody here saw this helmet and was insistent that he was Peter Mills from chicago fire

[firechief14]

This one was sure that he was Lt Casey

Here is the funeral procession for a very good friend and mentor of mine and many others in our area. Chief Weavel passed away to the big fire station upstairs just after the first of the year and i am just getting around to posting the photos now but i am impressed to see some of the chiefs that i know that he did not see eye to eye with im not going to name any names and Joel trust me it wasnt you but some of the vehicles here that attended the service i was very surprised at. He was a very aggressive chief and his philosophy was that no matter how many years you have been in the fire service and what rank you were you never stopped learning. He will be missed.
