“We like to show the citizens of Mission that our two Departments work well together, are cohesive, and share the goal of making the City of Mission the safest City in Texas to live in!" - Mission Fire Chief Rene Lopez, Jr. This year the Mission Police Officers took home the trophy. "In our defense, right when the game started we had a house fire, so half the team had to leave! We hope to avenge ourselves next year!" said Chief Lopez. The Fire and Police Chiefs tell us the softball game is a fun way for new firefighters and police officers to meet their City of Mission family.
