Thirteen years ago today, May 31, 2013, the Houston Fire Department experienced its darkest day.
A five-alarm fire at the Southwest Inn on the Southwest Freeway brought crews from Stations 51 and 68 to what would become the deadliest incident in HFD history. As firefighters worked to search and suppress the blaze, the roof collapsed, trapping crews inside.
Four firefighters were killed that day. A fifth, Captain William "Iron Bill" Dowling, lost both legs in the fire and passed away in 2017 from complications related to his injuries.
We remember Captain Matthew Renaud, Engineer Operator Robert Bebee, Firefighter Robert Garner, Probationary Firefighter Anne Sullivan, and Captain William "Iron Bill" Dowling.
They sacrificed everything. We will never forget.

WATCH: "We're close to a very good deal," says POTUS on Iran.
"If you're going to be in a hurry, you're not going to make a good deal, and slowly but surely, we're getting, I think, what we want — and if we don't get what we want, we're going to end it a different way."
POTUS says Iran's "biggest asset" is the Fake News Media, which constantly diminishes the successes of the United States:
"You have a big win in a battle, and they say you lost... it's just a terrible thing for our country."
POTUS: "VP's doing a great job with his team, and they've caught already hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud... If we find half of the fraud that's going on in this country—and we will—we're going to have a balanced budget very soon."
POTUS on the Democrats: "I want borders, they don't want borders. They want to get rid of your Second Amendment, I have to protect the Second Amendment... I will say this, if they won this election, I don't think we'd have a country anymore."
POTUS: "We have very bad elections. We really have to pass the SAVE America Act... the Republican Senate HAS to get going."
POTUS on Jaxson Dart: "I wish I looked just like Jaxson." 🤣
"He's got tremendous potential. If he stays healthy, he's going to be a great [QB]... when Jaxson gets harassed a little bit, he's also loved more—because we have more people than they do."
POTUS on UFC Freedom 250 at the White House: "I've never seen anything like it... it's going to be something that's going to be very exciting."

Beautiful day marching up Fifth Avenue with Mike Bloomberg for the annual Israel Day Parade.
The NYPD was not messing around with security: this was the most extensive security plan that the NYPD has ever put together for this event so that everyone could celebrate safely.
Thank you to every member of the NYPD who was out today protecting our city.
