A Firefighter from Westover Borough (Clearfield County) Fire Station #45 has died in the Line of Duty while operating at a house fire in Westover Borough.

Firefighters responded to a reported working fire early this morning and upon arrival, started their attack and related operations. Reports are that Command then decided to allow the fire to burn because it was a vacant abandoned structure.

While operating at this fire, a 42 year old male Firefighter reported that he did not feel well. Paramedics were already on the scene, treatment was started and the Firefighter was transported to Miners Hospital. Upon arrival at the hospital, the Firefighter went into what appeared to be cardiac arrest and later died in the Line of Duty, at the hospital.
