A 71-year-old fire police lieutenant died after collapsing in Pennsylvania.
On April 19, Fire Police Lieutenant Curtis E. Nordsick with the Wrightsville Steam Engine & Hose Company #1 responded to the scene of a homicide to assist with traffic control and scene safety.
Nordsick reportedly returned to the fire station and, after complaining that he wasn’t feeling well, collapsed. Lieutenant Nordsick was immediately attended to in the firehouse and then transported to Memorial Hospital where he passed away. The nature and cause of fatal injury is still to be determined.
Nordsick had 48 years of service, according to the U.S. Fire Administration firefighter fatality report.
