Firefighter Jesse Perez was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer. He’s been with the department for over 29 years.

A fundraiser in Perez’s honor is set for Saturday, Nov. 9 at Fire Station #9 at 62 E. Alton Gloor in Brownsville.
Brisket sandwich plates will be sold there for $10 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
