Along with thanking our Missouri firefighters for their service, the day also highlighted the duties of the Missouri Fire Service Funeral Assistance Team, a group of firefighters deployed to assist with funeral services for a firefighter when killed in the line-of-duty. Chief Harrell has served on the Missouri Fire Service Funeral Assistance Team since 2007.
