Through the years many giving men and women have sacrificed their time and energy to protect the communities served by the Odessa Fire Department. For an infinite number of reasons many of these wonderful individuals' lives have led them away from our fire department. Those with a minimum of five years of honorable service may request to become emeritus members of our department and the purpose of this page is to honor the dedication of those members.
Those members names appearing in italics are past Chiefs of the department.
This list contains only those past members who have formally requested emeritus status and who were still living as of the late 1980's. The names of those who have passed since that time will be shown in grey. Of course we welcome any additional information you may have.
