Province’s firefighters to remember lost colleague
Members of fire departments across our region will be in Rosetown today to attend the funeral for a volunteer firefighter who was killed in the line of duty.
Darrell James Morrison, 46, was struck by a passing semi while at the scene of a collision between two other semis about 14 miles north of the town Wednesday morning. Life-saving efforts were made by his colleagues at the scene. He was transported to hospital but died a short time later.
Melfort Fire Chief Jason Everett, formerly in that role in Prince Albert, is the vice president of the Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs.
He said anytime a first responder dies, it touches the whole community and there had been a clear showing of solidarity across the board.
