Tribute to Fallen Houston Texas Fire Fighter's

HOUSTON, April 13 (UPI) -- Authorities say they are investigating the deaths of two Houston firefighters who were killed while battling a house fire.

Capt. James Harlow and Damien Hobbs of Station 26 were killed Sunday, KPRC-TV of Houston reported Monday.

The station said Harlow, 50, was hired by the department in 1979 and had been a captain at Fire Station 26 since 2004. Hobbs, 29, a probationary firefighter, had graduated from training in March.

Harlow and Hobbs were reportedly inside a burning southeast Houston home searching, along with other firefighters, for victims trapped inside.

The search was called off after flames became too intense, but the men did not make it out of the home. The two firefighters were removed from inside after the blaze was under control.

The civilians inside the home were unharmed in the blaze.

Very touching. I am Damion's step brother Terry, I'm glad to see someone is working at putting things like this together for him and Captain Harlow.. We all appreciate it. I recently uploaded some clips from Damions funeral if you are interested in seeing how beautiful it was.

well we do it so other may live. and like Damion we will give all to find who ever is trapped, we will give our life to save another, and too his family i am deeply sorry he had to give it all but what he has done was brave and he is a hero to all of his brothers out there. ''it is not what you do/ it is what you are''

[thebailiffsings]

I'm not a fire fighter but one thing in common we all share is our desire to be a hero. All firefighters are heros. Please check out my new song and video about just that at thebailiffsings. To all Firefighters - thankyou from "The Bailiff."

Have been to two LODD funerals, and it's a hard time for any dept to go through. God bless the Houston Fire Dept, from the other end of the state, up here on the Red River.
