In an emotional ceremony of honors held at the central base of Civil Protection and Firefighters, which was attended by authorities, family members, friends and elements of this municipal agency, the work of firefighter Israel Pérez Salvatierra was recognized and honored, who died this June 24th in the city of Guadalajara.
On behalf of the interim municipal president, Jorge Antonio Quintero Alvarado, the secretary general of the City Council, Francisco Vallejo Corona attended, who offered his condolences to the family on behalf of the municipal government.

“We firmly believe that you are present in this barracks with us, that we only say goodbye to your physical body. But your history, your passion for service, dedication to your family, and your presence will be with us forever. It is time to say goodbye, between your silence and our voids, between memories and your absence,” he said.
