* Governor Kehoe Orders Flags to Fly at Half-Staff in Honor of
Beaufort-Leslie Fire Protection District Firefighter Chevy Gall

*

*JEFFERSON CITY, MO —*Today, in honor of Beaufort-Leslie Fire Protection District Firefighter Chevy Gall, Governor Mike Kehoe ordered U.S. and Missouri flags be flown at half-staff at government buildings in Franklin County, the Fire Fighters Memorial of Missouri in Kingdom City, and firehouses statewide on Saturday, April 12, 2025, from sunrise to sunset.

“Chevy Gall dreamed of one day becoming a firefighter, and in November 2024 at the young age of 16 he joined the Beaufort-Leslie Fire Protection District,” *Governor Kehoe* said. “Chevy went through training and embraced the fire service with enthusiasm, seriousness, and dedication. Claudia and I pray for Chevy’s loved ones, extended fire service family, and all who knew this young man who tragically lost his life in service to others.”

On April 4, Firefighter Gall, 16, was responding to the Beaufort-Leslie Fire Protection District’s main fire station to deploy with other firefighters in response to a water rescue call when he was fatally injured in a motor vehicle collision.

The flags will be held at half-staff on the day of Firefighter Gall’s memorial services. To view the Governor’s proclamation, click here [ [link removed] ].
