Honoring Lt. Albert Valdez

Posted on December 8, 2023March 31, 2024 by Webmaster

PFRA mourns the loss of Plano Firefighter Lt. Albert Valdez who passed away at his home on December 6. Many PFRA members personally knew Albert and were privileged to volunteer at his station. We will always remember his infectious smile and kindness towards CFA members and alumni. “Papi” will be missed by the entire fire department, as well as his friends at PFRA.
