A firefighter was killed in Colorado last week after he diverted to suppress a fire while he was traveling to attend the funeral of another firefighter.
Larry Wyant of Joes Volunteer Fire Department was attempting to suppress a fire in a cornfield on October 26 about 120 miles east of Denver, Colorado while the firefighters faced a 30 mph wind gusting to 60 mph. Mr. Wyant was out of his truck when the fire burned over his location. He passed away at the scene.
Our sincere condolences go out to Mr. Wyant’s family, friends, and co-workers.
my condolences goes out to the family nd brothers and sisters in the fire world.
