Assistant Chief Jason McGlone arrived at the scene of a crash involving a motor vehicle and a utility pole at approximately 9:30 p.m. on July 17, 2025. Shortly after arriving, Assistant Chief McGlone repositioned the pumper rescue truck he was driving to distance his vehicle from sagging electrical wires. However, he was unaware that the wires had become entangled with the apparatus and were in contact with the vehicle’s roof. Assistant Chief McGlone was electrocuted when he exited the rescue pumper. Personnel on-scene immediately began attempts to resuscitate Assistant Chief McGlone with CPR and the use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED). Despite these efforts, Assistant Chief McGlone could not be revived and was pronounced deceased.
