Regarding the funeral of Firefighter Muller: On behalf of the family of James Michael Muller, it has been requested that all non-fire personnel in attendance wear colorful attire as a tribute to their loved one.

Just minutes ago @ColaFire crews lined streets leading to I-126 in Columbia as fallen Irmo Fire District firefighter James Michael Muller was carried in a procession out of the city. It was a tribute to a hero who gave everything in the line of duty.

Please join Peggy and me in praying for the family and loved ones of Firefighter James Michael Muller, who heroically gave his life in service.
