SHOW LOW, AZ — Timber Mesa Fire and Medical District says a firefighter EMT was killed in a crash while headed to work Friday morning, just weeks after the deaths of two other firefighters within the department.
Officials say the crash occurred around 6:45 a.m. along Lone Pine Dam Road. The firefighter EMT was reportedly headed to work while on a motorcycle when a head-on collision occurred with a truck.
Timber Mesa Fire and Medical District identified the firefighter EMT as 46-year-old Glenn Collins, who died from his injuries.
Officials did not say whether the driver of the truck, a 21-year-old Show Low woman, suffered any serious injuries.
"Our entire organization is grieving the loss of another one of our own," the department said in a post on social media. "We ask for privacy as we support family, friends, and fellow firefighters during this very difficult time."
Their memorial services were held last week in Show Low.
A procession for Collins is being held on Monday, bringing the late firefighter from Show Low to the medical examiner's office in Flagstaff, and back to Show Low.
