Today we mourn the passing of Houston Fire Department Captain Clifford Reed.

Captain Reed was more than a firefighter, he was a Houston Fire Department legend. His name carries weight because of the way he served, the way he led, and the example he set for future generations of firefighters.

He represented the heart of aggressive interior fire attack: courage, discipline, confidence and commitment to improving his craft. His influence reached beyond the fireground through his development of the "Reed Hood", a tool born from real fireground experience and a deep understanding of what firefighters need when operating in dangerous conditions.

Captain Reed helped shape the culture of the Houston Fire Department through his knowledge, his leadership, his innovation, and his dedication.

Men like Captain Reed leave an impact that does not fade.

Rest easy, Captain Reed. Your legacy will continue to ride with the Houston Fire Department. Our prayers are with your family, friends and all who had the honor of knowing and working beside you.
