It is with deep regret that we advise you that around 0200 hours this morning, a Firefighter from North Irwin (Westmoreland County, PA) has died in the Line of Duty. Reports are that the 63 year old Firefighter turned out for the run but was found "down" by other Firefighters in the station. He was treated, transported to Westmoreland Hospital where he succumbed. We will post more on our home page later. As always, our most sincere condolences. Additionally, related to the same fire, another Firefighter broke his ankle while getting out of the apparatus at the scene.
