Chief Pierce loved the Dallas Fire Department and everything that it represented. He was so proud to be Chief Pierce and was passionate about helping to prevent fires and educating the citizens of Dallas about fire safety always. He never stopped carrying smoke detectors in his trunk just in case he went to a home that didn’t have one.
