Bill Adkison

He has since passed, but will always be remembered and loved for the dedication he had given to the fire department.
Brandon Foret
It is with great sorrow and heavy hearts that we have to tell you that we lost a member of our fire department on the night of May 8th. We lost a great, kind hearted person and he will be greatly missed. Brandon Foret was voted into the fire department on May 7th of this month, but he has been in training for the last Month. Brandon was going to get his LPN license to become a nurse and help people. Though we did not know Brandon or his family very long, he was one of us and will forever be a part of out family at Argyle Volunteer Fire Department! Our prayers go out to his family and friends. We have lost a great person and family member. Brandon made an impact. Only family will know just how much!
