We invite all first responders to take part in the walk through to honor Chief Collins. Please plan to arrive and line up by 4:45 PM in the grass at the northeast corner of Speer Funeral Home.

All fire, EMS, and law enforcement are welcome and encouraged to participate. Please come in uniform if possible. This is our opportunity as a first responder community to show up for one of our own and give Chief Collins the send-off he deserves.
