Captain Ross is RETIRING!
After 28 years of loyal service to Caddo Parish Fire District 5, Captain Richard Ross is retiring. We wish him only the best in all of his endeavors. During his last shift on April 5, 2012, we arranged to have Firecomm send a special "dispatch" for Captain Ross. To hear this, click the play button in the left audio box below.
