Brothers & Sisters,
Today our LA County Fire Family, Fire Station 166, and Battalion 10 came together to grieve but also to heal and honor the life, service, and sacrifice of our Brother Steve McCann who was taken from us too soon.
Thank you to the unsung heroes of the Memorial Management Team, our Pipes and Drums, Honor Guard, our LACoFD Peer Support Team, and our Chaplains, who all came together and do the heavy lifting to ensure that Steve and the McCann family were honored.
Our Local 1014 Executive Board Director Pat Dolan presented the Medal of Valor and Director Jason Cervantes presented the 1014 Bible on behalf of the Local 1014 Executive Board and our members. Also thank you to California Professional Firefighters President Brian Rice and all the outside agencies who joined us today in celebration of a great firefighter and a great man.
And finally, to Steve Skaar, Dave Chambers, Gerry Delgado, Brian Boethling, Roy Rodriguez, and Ryan McKeehan, thank you for making today's ceremony such an amazing personal celebration of Steve's life. We often say "We shall not forget". We will all remember Steve's service and his life.

Yesterday, we had a beautiful Flag Ceremony at Station 166 in El Monte. Thank you to everyone who attended to make this week a week of healing for our fire family and the McCann family. |

| Finally, the Benefit & Welfare Association with Muertos Coffee are sponsoring a benefit fund for Fire Captain Steven McCann. This is a family-approved fundraiser. |

In Solidarity,
President Dave Gillotte and the Local 1014 Executive Board |
