MAINE FIREFIGHTER LINE OF DUTY DEATH: REPORTED HEART ATTACK AT THE SCENE OF A DWELLING FIRE

It is with deep regret that we advise you that a Maine Firefighter died in the Line of Duty after collapsing while operating at a fire in the Somerset County town of Detroit.

Detroit, Pittsfield, Newport and Plymouth Firefighters responded to the dwelling fire around 0800 hours and the Firefighter, Michael Snowman of Hartland, collapsed at the scene from a reported heart attack. he was immediately treated and then was taken to Sebasticook Valley Hospital, then transferred to Eastern Maine Medical Center where he died in the Line of Duty from an apparent heart attack. No one was at home at the time of the fire…the home was a total loss.

As always, our sincere condolences to all affected, especially the firefighters and family of FF Snowman.
