Keith Giblin, federal magistrate judge on the United states District Court for the Eastern District of Texas will recognize the Sabine Neches Chiefs’ Association for their 65 years of service to the community and a special presentation will be made by District Chief John Seamans of the Houston Fire Department to honor fallen Houston heroes: Captain Matthew Renaud and Engineer Operator Robert Bebee from Station 51, and Firefighter EMT Robert Garner and Firefighter Anne Sullivan from Station 68.

The annual event, scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Sept. 11, recognizes area first responders and military personnel.
