THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER COLLEAGUES
. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THIS
MORNING, AND I JUST WANT TO RISE
AND INTERNAL MEMORY. OF A GOOD
FRIEND, UM, A FRIEND THAT I GREW
UP WITH IN THE FIRE SERVICE.
CAPTAIN DOUG MUKULA STARTED OUT
AS A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER AND
SLIDE OF CALIFORNIA. AS A YOUNG
FIREFIGHTER. I STARTED AS AN
EXPLORER WITH THIS AGENCY. AND
CAPTAIN NICOLA WAS MY FIRST
MENTOR. AND HE WAS A HUGE
INFLUENCE ON SO MANY OF OUR
LIVES. WHEN YOU COME INTO THE
FIRE SERVICE. YOU ALWAYS LOOK TO
THOSE GUYS FOR GUIDANCE THAT
HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE. THE
OLD SCHOOL CHIEFS, THE CAPTAIN'S
LIKE DOUG. THE PEOPLE THAT CAN
REALLY GUIDE YOU AND TRY TO
MINIMIZE THE MISTAKES THAT YOU
MAKE. AND DOUG WAS ONE OF THOSE
GUYS THAT LOVED WORKING WITH
KIDS. AS EXPLORERS. WE WOULD
ALWAYS GO TO DOUG. AND JUST SEEK
HIS ADVICE. DOUG WENT TO MODESTO
FIRE IN 2011, WHERE HE STARTED
CAREER WITH MODESTO FIRE. AND,
SADLY, HE DIED OF CANCER. A FEW
MONTHS AGO AT THE AGE OF 52. AND
THIS WASN'T JUST A LOSS FOR THE
FIRE SERVICE. THIS WAS A LOSS TO
THE COMMUNITY. THIS WAS A LOSS
FOR SOMEBODY THAT WAS LOVED. NOT
ONLY LOVED BY HIS HIS WIFE,
KRISTIN, HIS TWO KIDS BUT LED BY
THE FIRE SERVICE BECAUSE OF HIS
HEART. YOU DON'T SPEND A CAREER
AS A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER. AS
IT PAID FIREFIGHTER AND DIE FOR
YOUR PROFESSION IF YOU DON'T
LOVE SERVICE. IF YOU DON'T LOVE
SERVING PEOPLE AND DOUG
EPITOMIZED THAT. HE WAS
EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD ABOUT
THE FIRE SERVICE, AND HE GAVE
HIS LIFE. FOR THAT CAUSE. AND SO
IT IS MY ABSOLUTE HONOR THAT WE
ADJOURN THIS HOUSE, THIS BODY
AND HIS MEMORY BECAUSE THERE'S
NOBODY MORE DESERVING THAN
CAPTAIN DOUG MCCULLOUGH AND
CHRIS I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU HEAR
HIS LOVELY WIFE IS IN THE BACK,
AND I JUST SORRY FOR THE LOSS,
AND WE REALLY DO MISS DOUG AND
ALL THOSE TIMES WE SPENT COOKING
TOGETHER SERVING MOTHER'S DAY
BREAKFAST IS AND VALENTINE'S
DINNERS. IT'S GONNA BE A LOSS
FOR US, THE FIRE SERVICES
COMMUNITY AND WE LOST A DEAR
DEAR BROTHER. SO MY CONDOLENCES
TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. MY
CONDOLENCES TO MINISTER FIRE FOR
THAT'S IN THE GALLERY. UM WHEN
WE START TALKING ABOUT
PRESUMPTION AND CANCER RELATED
ILLNESSES, FRIENDS TAKE THIS
SERIOUS. IS IMPORTANT. WE ARE
LOSING FAR TOO MANY GOOD WOMEN
AND GOOD MEN IN THE CAUSE OF
SERVICE, AND WE NEED TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT. AND I
ADJOURN AND DOUGLAS HOLTZ
