Photo of the Week: A final salute to a fallen hero

Irmo Police Chief Bobby Dale pays tribute to fallen Irmo Firefighter James Michael Muller


This week's photo of the week was sent by Lieutenant Andrea Grinstead of the Town of Irmo Police Department in South Carolina. 

"I just wanted to share this photograph of Irmo Police Chief Bobby Dale paying tribute to fallen Irmo Firefighter James Michael Muller, who was killed in the line of duty on May 26, 2023," writes Lt. Grinstead. "I know most of the time police and fire give each other grief and it’s all in good fun, but when the chips are really down, we are all part of the same family and I feel this photograph embodies the brother and sisterhood shared by police and fire."
