Roseburg Fire Department Honors Fallen Medford Firefighter

Several members of the Roseburg Fire Department came out to honor to honor fallen Medford Firefighter Frumencio Ruiz Carapia as his procession passed through Roseburg Thursday afternoon. The 56 year-old Carapia was struck by a falling tree as he worked along the eastern edge of the Gales Fire up in Lane County. Family members told KDRV the 20-year firefighting veteran was due home on Tuesday and his wife had his favorite food already prepared for him. Carapia leaves behind his wife, 4 children and one grandchild. A GoFundMe has been set up in Carapia's name for anyone who would like to support his family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/supporting-the-family-of-fallen-wild-firefighter Here is the video of the procession travelling through Roseburg this afternoon: https://www.roseburgtracker.com/posts/612819a46a55b30004b1f263
