A veteran Mississippi firefighter who collapsed and died at his station May 6 received a final salute from comrades earlier this week.
Philadelphia Fire Capt. Dwight Greer, 44, was stricken while playing basketball at Station 3 while on duty.
Despite efforts of fellow firefighters, he could not be revived, Fire Chief Pierce Clark said.
An autopsy showed he suffered a heart attack.
More than 600 people paid their respects to the 21-year veteran, well-loved firefighter. Some lined the streets to show their respects.
