Clearfield County Firefighter Dies
A Clearfield County firefighter died in the line of duty early Saturday morning.
41-year-old Lt. Roy Westover was among the firefighters battling a blaze at an abandoned vacant structure.
While on the scene, Westover reported that he did not feel well. Paramedics who were already on the scene started treatment and transported him to Miners Hospital. At the hospital, Westover apparently had a heart attack and died.
Westover is survived by three teenage sons, two of whom are junior firefighters; his parents; and a number of brothers and sisters.
State police are investigating the fire, which is being treated as suspicious because there have been other suspicious fires in the area since April.
