Captain Main started her career in the fire service with Terrell’s Volunteer Fire Department. She served Terrell as a volunteer until she was hired with the Terrell Fire Department in 1999. “As a member of the Terrell Fire Department, Cindy rose to the rank of Captain where she led, inspired, trained and grew the members under her command. We would love to see the citizens of Terrell join the department in saying Thank You to Cindy for her years of service.” Photos courtesy of the TFD Facebook page
