Ala. Firefighter Dies After Responding to Incidents

 An Alabama firefighter died last week just hours after responding to two incidents with his department.

Mount Zion Fire Rescue Capt. James Donald “Donnie” Keith, 59, was at home on June 3 when he complained about feeling ill. He then went into cardiac arrest.

Despite efforts, Keith was pronounced dead at a local hospital on June 4.

One of his last alarms with company was in a recreational vehicle at the Clear Creek Recreation Area Campground, 

His death brings to 41 the number of firefighters who have died on duty so far this year. 

Arrangements are pending.
