If you don't know, a member of the Trenier family has been protecting Mobile from fires since the inception of the very first fire department here when Creole Fire No. 1 was incorporated in April 1819, before Alabama was a state and while Spain still held the keys to our city. Alex was our Deputy Chief of the Mobile Fire Department and a remarkable man. Please come show your support. Please share this invitation.

Our heart just hurts. Robbie Runderson was good friend and wonderful supporter who donated his talents to so many organizations, not just MCCHPS. He will be missed. May perpetual light shine upon his beautiful soul.
