Funeral services are pending for a longtime volunteer firefighter who collapsed at a brush fire in a New York village Sunday.
Hector "Sandy" McClune, 76, was assisting at a small brush fire behind Millerton Elementary School when he collapsed. Fellow personnel from Millerton Vol. Fire Co. attempted to revive him. However, their efforts proved fruitless.
McClune was transported to the hospital in nearby Sharon, CT., where he was pronounced dead.
He has been a member of the all-volunteer department since 1966.
A fire department spokesman said funeral arrangements should be announced later Monday.
