History

    The Last Alarm Club was founded in 1977 by a group of concerned Fire Fighters and friends of Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association, Local 341. Initially, the fund was created to assist the family of a Houston Fire Fighter killed in the line of duty. Since the early 1980's, Houston was blessed in the fact that we had no line of duty deaths until 1999. This "Good Luck" brought less attention to the Last Alarm Club and donations virtually ceased.

    In 1994, The Houston Fire Department suffered a tragedy with the off-duty death of Captain Danny Thomas. Although a memorial service was held here in Houston, his funeral was in Washington, PA. At that time, there were no official means of providing funds for those members representing their respective groups. In 1996 a By-Law was passed by Last Alarm Club Board of Trustees to allow funds to be used in emergency situations such as out of town funerals or for hotel rooms for families of severely injured Fire Fighters. This has already been used several times this year.
