It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Retired Assistant Fire Chief Mike Pierce. After a long and dedicated career serving our community, he has passed away. His unwavering leadership and commitment to both his crew at Edinburg Fire and the community left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered. As a mentor, a friend, and a calming presence during challenging times, his selflessness and integrity will be remembered by all who had the honor of serving alongside him. His legacy will forever inspire those who follow in his footsteps. We extend our sincerest condolences to his family during this difficult time. He will be dearly missed.
