While one Richland Fire Department Captain is retiring, another is taking his place...but they share a special moment from the new captain's childhood. It started when Capt. Joe DeRousie was 10 years old at a charity basketball game. "I was just doing some organizing, cleaning out some boxes, going through the garage," he said. "This particular night, my phone beeped and I was sitting at the couch or the table, and I picked up my phone and he says, I believe the text back said, 'you would not believe what I found in my garage,'" said retired Capt. Dean Reents.
