Today, our hearts are heavy as we remember and honor Chief Casterlin.
A chief is more than a title. It is leadership, dedication, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to serving others. Chief Casterlin embodied those qualities every day, answering the call when others needed help, guiding fellow firefighters, and leaving a lasting impact on the department and community he loved.
The helmet may rest, the badge may be silent, but the legacy of Chief 44 will never fade. His service, mentorship, friendship, and devotion to the fire service will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of serving beside him.
To his family, friends, and fire service brothers and sisters, we extend our deepest condolences. May you find comfort in the countless lives he touched and the memories he leaves behind.
Rest easy, Chief. Your watch may be over, but your impact will remain forever.
🚒 Chief 44, we have the watch from here.
