Photos: The funeral procession for Worcester Fire Lt. Jason Menard
Hundreds of firefighters and local leaders attended the services Monday at St. John's Catholic Church in Worcester.
The murky weather seemed all too appropriate as scores of firefighters turned out in Worcester on Monday to witness the funeral procession for Lt. Jason Menard.
Menard, a nearly 10-year veteran of the Worcester Fire Department, died Nov. 13 after being trapped in a four-alarm fire on Stockholm Street. He was 39.
Officials say his death came after he was able to bring two of his other crew members to safety as the group searched the home for a baby and resident reportedly still in the building.
