PGFD Fire Chief Reflects on His Time with Carla D. Blue

All:

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Carla Blue was involved in a tragic motor vehicle collision that took her life Saturday morning. Carla and I worked along side each other for many years during the 1990's and 2000's.  Carla's work ethic and dedication to her profession, her faith and her family were commendable and a testament to her success as the first African American female to attain the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the PGFD.  

In addition to working with Carla, I had the distinct pleasure of hiring Carla's son Jamar as a firefighter in Career Recruit School #46 in 2012. Jamar is currently assigned to station 831 and continues to serve his moms legacy of service above self.

Please continue to keep Jamar and the entire family in your thoughts and prayers.
