TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — A firefighter was killed in the line of duty Thursday night, and other firefighters and Hoosier leaders are mourning the loss.
The Prairieton Fire Department posted a message to Facebook Friday morning, in which officials said, “We would just ask that you continue to pray for the family, friends and fellow firefighters as we navigate through this terrible tragedy.”

My heart is heavy as I offer my deepest condolences to the family and colleagues of the fallen Prairieton Fire Department firefighter.
Their bravery and ultimate sacrifice in the face of danger to protect our community will never be forgotten.
