TYLER FIRE DEPARTMENT
Willis starts, ends 31-year
career with house fires
By KENNETH DEAN
Tyler Morning Telegram
The man who some say is.
the best tire captain in the city’s
history began his career with the
Tyler Fire Department 31 years
ago with a house fire on his first
day.
Monday afternoon, Capt.-
Mike Willis pulled off his heavy
fire coat, tossed it into Engine 6,
wiped the sweat from his brow
and smiled as smoke billowed up
behind him.
“1 started my career with a
house fire and I guess I am end-
ing it with a house lire," he said
at the scene of a fire in the 1000
block of West 32nd Street.
Willis said he was finishing his
last shift as a Tyler firefighter as
he retired to operate his 400-acre
ranch in Rains County, where he
manages 80 head of registered
Hercfords.
Other firefighters at the scene
gave Willis a pat on the back and
said he was one of the best.
“He was as line a captain as
there ever was with this depart-

ment. I worked for him lor a
long time and I have to say that
he is not only a good captain,
but a real good man," District
Chief Joey Wiggins said at the
fire site.
Capt. Ken Langley, who was
promoted to captain ol Hngine
4 whcic Willis worked tin mauv
years, said he had something to
say about his former captain.
“Mike was my captain for
many years and lie is hy far the
best captain I've worked for in
this department," he said.
Looking at the yard where
Willis was standing watching
younger firefighters spray water
on the wood framed house,
Langley added, “There is prob-
ably not a finer man than Mike
alive today." Willis smiled when
asked if he would miss putting
out fires.
“Oh I'm sure there will be
da^s that I do miss it. I've been
doing this a long time, hut today
is my last fire." he said.
