Firefighters to Honor Fallen Hero

The Noel Fire Department has suffered the loss of one of their own. Garrett Paiz, a volunteer firefighter with the Noel Fire Department, was fighting the wildfires in California when he was involved in a fire truck accident. Paiz will be laid to rest in Mecca, California on Friday, October 27. The family has requested the presence of members of his Noel Fire family to serve as pall bearers during the services. It is our goal to be able to send four of our firefighters to California to attend the celebration of the life of their fire brother. This campaign will cover the cost of the flights, a rental car, and rooms during this honorable time.
