Flags to fly at half staff in honor of fallen fire lieutenant

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A funeral date has been set for the veteran Philadelphia firefighter who was fatally injured when a burning row home collapsed over the weekend.

Officials on Monday said a funeral mass for Lieutenant Matthew LeTourneau will be held Friday at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia.

LeTourneau was pulled from the home Saturday by fellow firefighters and taken to Temple University Hospital. The 11-year-veteran was pronounced dead there a short time later.

A person who lived in the home was also killed in the fire. Two other firefighters were treated at a hospital for undisclosed injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf has ordered all commonwealth flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of LeTourneau.
