| Chris Douglas |
Chris was a member of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. He was based with the Riverside County Unit of the Department. He had 8 years of service.
As Chris was preparing to leave the site of one traffic collision in order to respond to another, he was struck by a vehicle. His fire truck was parked on the right shoulder when a pickup truck struck the driver’s side and Chris. He was transported to a local hospital but tragically passed away.
The driver of the pickup, stopped and was cooperative with authorities. He is unnamed as of this posting, but is a 60 year old disabled army veteran and a Coachella Valley resident. He consented to a blood test, but drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor.
Fire Department officials stated that they are saddened at the passing of Chris. They are in mourning.
Chris was a native of Colorado Springs. He had previously served in the U.S. Air
Force.

| Saint Florian, Patron Saint of Firefighters, pray for Chris and for Amy who has lost her loved one |
Friends describe Chris as a really good surfer who was well known and respected by the local surfer community. He is also described as a good guy, genuine and "solid". His smile could light up a room.
Chris is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his mother; his brother, Martin Douglas; his sister, Heather Douglas; his wife Amy; and their two year old son. Amy is pregnant and expecting their second child.
Pray for all who die in the line of duty. Amen.
Pray for all who die by misadventure. They are with us one moment and gone the next. Amen.
Pray that Chris is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
