CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. — A veteran Cal Fire firefighter died Monday after a battle with stage four terminal cancer.
Sara Thomas, 41, was diagnosed with cancer December 2015; she leaves behind her 7-year-old twin daughters.
During a fundraising event last year, Thomas told KESQ firefighting was her passion.
“I love being a firefighter. It was everything. I worked hard. I worked 15 years to get where I am at, and I am truly going to miss it,” Thomas told the publication.
A funeral procession was held Tuesday morning.
