The Louisiana Fire Chiefs Association is deeply saddened by the passing of Chief Robert W. Roe, Past President of LFCA and Fire Chief of Bossier Parish Fire District #1.

Chief Roe served as LFCA President in 2018 and dedicated 37 years of his life to the fire service, beginning as a Junior Firefighter at age 16. He was a tremendous leader and an important part of LFCA and the fire service throughout North Louisiana.

His leadership, service and friendship touched so many, and he will be deeply missed.

Please keep the Roe family, Bossier Parish Fire District #1, and the entire fire service community in your thoughts and prayers.

We will share service arrangements as they become available.
