Today, Governor Wolf has ordered that Commonwealth flags be flown at half-mast in honor of fallen firefighters that were lost in the line of duty this week:
The order honors Kurt Keilhofer of the Mapleton Fire Department in Huntingdon County, and Marvin Gruber and Zachary Paris of the New Tripoli Fire Department in Lehigh County.
Keilhofer died Tuesday, December 6, after he was struck while responding to a vehicle accident in Union Township.
Gruber and Paris died Wednesday, December 7, after they became entrapped in a burning house near Tamaqua in Schuylkill County.
The flags are to be lowered until a memorial date is set. There is not one available at this time.
*US Flags remain at full-mast.
