The Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation has recognized the passing of Forest Grove Fire Chief Bob Felker as a line of duty death.
When Bob lost his battle with cancer in September the Cariboo Regional District sent an application to the CFFF to have his passing considered a line of duty death and the application has been approved.
According to the CRD the CFFF was created to honor and remember firefighters who have been killed in the line of duty and they felt Bob deserved to be honored after 34 years of service.
The CRD is actively seeking community spirited and motivated men and women to join its Volunteer Fire Department teams and you can visit their website for more details.
