\n A group of 50 emergency personnel will make its way through Alto this month on the way to Houston. But they aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t driving. Instead, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll ride bicycles all the way from Louisiana.
\n Called The Brotherhood Riders, the group has made long-distance treks every year since 2007 to honor those who have fallen in the line of duty. This time, they will honor 19 firefighters who died in 2013, including those lost in the West fertilizer plant explosion.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
