Fairville firefighter who died on duty to be honored in national memorial
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A Fairville firefighter who died while responding to a fire in Arcadia will be honored by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation
It had been over a year since Daniel Dewolf joined multiple firefighters to fight a fire in Arcadia. While helping at the scene, Dewolf suffered cardiac arrest. First responders tried making life-saving measures, but he passed away at Newark-Wayne Community Hospital.
According to the National Firefighters Foundation, the property he was responding to held significance because his own family lived there. He left behind his loving family, both in and out of the department.
Dewolf will be included in the 2025 Roll of Honor for the National Fallen Firefighters, which includes 70 firefighters who died in 2024 and 70 more who died in previous years.
