Flags are being flown at half-staff at the statehouse and in Huron County in memory of a fallen firefighter.
Forty-one-year-old John Saunders, a volunteer firefighter, was tackling an early morning house fire yesterday in Willard and was found unresponsive in the home's basement.
Saunders, a member of the Tri-Community Joint Fire Department, was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and later died.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
