The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation is providing full rides to college for two children of a Harrisburg firefighter killed in the line of duty almost four years ago.
Aliza and Carson Devoe were granted the funding in light of the death of their father, Lt. Dennis Devoe, who died on the way to a March 2017 house fire caused by a hoverboard.
Devoe was headed to a fire on the 2500 block of Lexington Street when an impaired driver ran a stop sign and T-boned him at 14th and Walnut streets, police said. Two girls died in the fire.
