It is with deep regret that we advise you that Val Verde County Volunteer Fire & Rescue (Texas) Firefighter Larry Gale Nelson died in the Line of Duty yesterday. Around noon, FF Nelson was doing work at the firehouse and was alone. Sometime after he started doing some work, passerby saw him down on the front concrete area and help was summoned as he was in arrest. It has not yet been determined if his injuries were traumatic, medical or a combination.
FF Nelson was a very active and beloved member, Firefighter of the year in 2007 and also served as a consultant to the oil industry as his career, according to Fire Chief Jerry Rust.
Our sincere condolences to those affected.
