FARMINGTON, Maine (AP) Two members of a Maine fire department shaken by tragedy in September are going to represent fellow firefighters in the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year’s Day in Pasadena, California.
According to media reports, Farmington firefighter Steve Bunker will ride on a float sponsored by the Odd Fellows that’s shaped like a firetruck with the theme, “First Responders Bring Hope.”
Fellow Farmington firefighter Patty Cormier will be in the grandstands as a special guest.
Farmington has been recovering from the Sept. 16 propane explosion that killed Capt. Michael Bell and injured several others.
