Firefighter Dies in Wisconsin

A firefighter from the Colby Fire department died today while fighting a fire in a theater.
From jsonline: A firefighter was killed Sunday while battling a fire in a historic theater in this central Wisconsin community.
Four firefighters fell through the roof of the Abby Theatre in Abbotsford and were taken to a Marshfield hospital where one of the firefighters succumbed to injuries Sunday evening, according to the Colby Fire Department.
The victim was a firefighter with nearby Colby, a community about two miles south of Abbotsford. The firefighter's identity was not released.
The conditions of the other three firefighters injured in the roof collapse were not known late Sunday.
Abbotsford Fire Chief Jody Apfelbeck said the building's owner checked its furnaces at 10:30 a.m. Sunday and found no problems. The fire was reported around noon, and firefighters continued late into the afternoon to put out small pockets of flames inside the building.
Apfelbeck said the building sustained "substantial damage" including the collapse of its roof.
About 35 firefighters from four departments responded.

I used to live in Central WI., where Colby and Abbotsford are located and I have been through Colby and Abbotsford many, many times.
These are very close knit communities and they will be able to handle a disaster like this, but please keep the firefighter, their family and friends and the volunteer fire departments in your prayers.
