Burning in Galena Manor documents the true story of Milton Alford who, in 1955 became the city of Houston's first African American fire fighter.

The film reminds us of individuals who had the courage to stand up and be the first to do something. Black or white, male or female, young or old; we all need these types of stories in our lives. Mr. Alford’s example of bravery is one that can be followed and passed down from generation to generation with impacts that will last a lifetime.
