It is with a heavy heart that I come to you and ask for your prayers for the Victims in West. My USAR team deployed and arrived in West at 2 AM the night of the Explosion. We conducted Search and Rescue Operations around the clock for 72 Hrs ,until it went to a Recovery Mode. I personally stood at the crater, and Searched the Blast Area. I am now back at my Fire Station in Dallas watching the Memorial, thinking of my Brothers and their Families during this incredibly difficult time. God Bless the Families, God Bless West, God Bless Texas and these United States of America.
