Late Gresham firefighter 'going to make change'

GRESHAM, Ore. (KOIN) -- Though it was a formal ceremony at Gresham Fire Station 71, it felt a bit like a family reunion.

Friends, family and State Sen. Chris Gorsek were there to honor Brian Flowers, who spent 15 years with the Gresham FD before he lost his battle to leukemia linked to firefighting in 2023. Gorsek was there to officially present the highest honor the Oregon legislature can bestow -- a unanimous resolution honoring Flowers' life and legacy.
