BLAKELY, Pa. — A firefighter with the Wilson Fire Company who suffered a heart attack at the scene of a fire has been denied workers’ compensation.
Assistant Fire Chief William Saxe responded to a 2 a.m. fire at Fiorelli Plaza in Peckville on March 31, where he had a heart attack that left him in critical condition at Community Medical Center. He is now back home, but declined to comment, citing legal matters involving his case.
Blakely officials confirmed Mr. Saxe filed for workers’ compensation through the borough, but the borough’s insurance carrier, the State Workers’ Insurance Fund, denied Mr. Saxe’s claim.
