PINE GROVE, Pa. — The fallen firefighter’s flag is flying at half staff outside the Pine Grove Fire Company No. 1.
It’s there for Tim Peters, who died just hours after responding to a call. He’s being remembered as one of the fire company’s most celebrated volunteers. “If you knew Tim he was a big gentleman,” said Pine Grove Fire Chief David Sattizahn. “His words spoke with some kind of enthusiasm when he spoke. He was just a lot of fun to be around.”
Peters passed away just hours after responding to a medical call last week. Since he died within 24 hours of answering a call, his death is considered a line of duty death.
