LOS ANGELES — Retired Los Angeles County Firefighter and Chaplain Jake Ching escorted Ashley Weiss, the daughter of fallen Firefighter Dale R. Weiss and Family Support Group Coordinator Ingrid Weiss, to her wedding on Oct. 27.

Firefighter Weiss died in an off-duty accident in 2016.

Ashley’s bridal bouquet held a charm with a photo of her father.
