A longtime volunteer firefighter in the Piedmont Triad community died Monday hours after being on duty.
Pinnacle Firefighter Van Boles, 58, had been a volunteer for 34 years.
Boles was on duty for two hours on Sunday night, according to WGHP.
State law dictates that any firefighter or medical worker who dies within 24 hours is considered a “line-of-duty” death, the station reported.
Visitation will be held on Friday, Jan. 6 from 5-7 p.m. at the Needham Funeral Chapel. Funeral services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Jan. 7 at the Pinnacle United Methodist Church.
