Fallen Peabody firefighter James Rice will be posthumously bestowed with an award for bravery and excellence in fire service tomorrow night during the annual Firefighter of the Year Awards at Mechanics Hall in Worcester.
Firefighter Rice, 42, died a year ago after inhaling toxic fumes while battling a three-alarm fire.
Since then a memorial scholarship fund has also been established in his name.
It’s definitely nice to hear of the latest honor for a Peabody fallen hero.
