Monday, January 23, 2017Together, Randall Sanders said, the couple had two daughters, Shelby Sanders and Raegan Sanders. She also leaves behind a granddaughter, Baila Sanders.In 2009 Sanders finished EMT coursework at Gadsden State Community College and in 2013 graduated as an advanced EMT, Calhoun County Coroner Pat Brown said.Sometime before starting school, Sanders began working at the Fire Department, Brown said.“She got involved after she started a fire,” Randall Sanders said, chuckling. “She was trying to burn some leaves at the house, and the wind caught the fire and sent it running across the grass. The Fire Department had to come out and the rest is history so to speak.”Sanders was made chief in 2010 and she devoted her time to the department both as an EMT and as chief, her husband said. Sanders was on official business Friday when the wreck occurred, which makes her the first firefighter line- of-duty death in the United States for the year, Chris Heisler, with the United State Honor Flag, said by phone Monday. Sanders will be the first female fire chief to be honored with the flag, Heisler said.“It has become a national treasure for the families that have an intimate knowledge of what that sacrifice means,” Heisler said.Since 2010, Heisler has partnered with Dignity Memorial, a funeral service throughout the country, to cover the costs of the funerals.“No one should make a dollar off of a fallen hero,” he said. “That family will never see an invoice for the service.”Randall Sanders was at a loss of words to describe the outpouring of support from the local public safety community.“Hug your wife, hug your kids, spend some time with them,” Sanders said after a pause. “This is a very tight community and they are a special breed of people.”A visi...

Monday, October 31, 2016Quartet will be performing at the Celebrate the Son concert in the Benjamin Russell High School auditorium.“The Gold City Quartet is one of the oldest quartets in the country,” said Anderson of the Gadsden-based group that formed in 1980. “They are a southern male Gospel quartet that is very well respected, very tight harmony, really good talent. And they have a somewhat local guy that sings with them now. Scott Brand from Clay County is their lead singer that joined them about a month ago, so we’ll have a lot of Clay County folks coming, too.”Gold City’s latest project, “Gold City – Authentic,” features some of the group’s most popular songs from the 1980s with updated tracks and vocals featuring today’s Gold City lineup.
