A 27-year-old firefighter killed in a huge fire and explosion at a lumber mill in Maine's midcoast region was being honored Saturday, a day after the incident that injured at least 11 others.
A memorial of flowers dedicated to Andrew Cross was left outside of the Morrill Volunteer Fire Department. First responders and other community members lined a highway and local roads Saturday to honor Cross as his remains were escorted about 46 miles (74 kilometers) east from Augusta to a funeral home in Belfast, Maine. The procession was routed to pass through Morrill to allow residents to pay their respects, the fire department said on Facebook.
