Eastvale – The Wives of Law Enforcement and Firefighters (W.O.L.F.F.) recently had the pleasure of recognizing and remembering law enforcement officers and firefighters who have spent countless days and nights protecting our local communities.

On May 7, W.O.L.F.F. – along with the Cities and Chambers of Commerce for Norco and Eastvale – honored the men and women who fought the recent Highway Fire in the City of Norco. Members of the Norco and Eastvale stations of Riverside County Cal Fire, and the Corona Fire Department, were presented with plaques and certificates to show appreciation for their diligent efforts in fighting this fast growing fire. In addition, the Stonebridge Christian Academy students created banners and wrote thank you notes for our local fire stations, while Eastvale Elementary’s 1st Grade class presented thank you cards to one of our own, Battalion Chief Robert Harris, who led a team to Nepal for earthquake relief efforts.

On May 20, members of W.O.L.F.F. attended the L.A. County Peace Officers Memorial Ceremony, which recognizes law enforcement officers who have recently lost their lives, including Lieutenant Patrick Libertone, an Eastvale resident. Lieutenant Libertone suffered a fatal heart attack during a traffic stop on Aug. 12, 2014.
