A veteran firefighter with the Patchogue Fire Department collapsed last week while participating in a detail at the station.
Edward Summers, 69, had held numerous positions including captain during his 47-year service as a volunteer at the Long Island company.
Fellow firefighters attempted to revive him after he collapsed, but their efforts proved fruitless.
The exact cause of death has not been determined as yet, according to the USFA.
