The South Padre Island Fire Fighters Association would like to first thank those first responders that gave the ultimate sacrifice on 9-11-01 but also we must not forget RGV first responders that sacrificed their lives to answer the call for service. And finally thank you to Spidiveservices and Tequila Sunset South Padre for feeding B shift firefighters.
