Flags on all state buildings will fly at half-staff on Jan. 31 in honor of fallen Fairville Volunteer Firefighter Dan DeWolf, Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered Tuesday. He was member of the department for 32 years.

DeWolf died after becoming unresponsive at the scene of a fire on Fairville Maple Ridge Road in Arcadia Sunday following a medical emergency, according to a news release from the department.

"Our volunteer firefighters put their lives on the line day in and day out to keep their communities safe, selflessly putting the safety of others first," Gov. Hochul said. "The loss of Dan DeWolf will be felt across New York as it highlights the risks these firefighters take on voluntarily. My heart is with Mr. DeWolf’s loved ones and his fellow firefighters. We are thankful for his service."

Funeral arrangements have not been finalized as of yet.

"This tragic passing of Firefighter DeWolf reminds us of the inherent dangers of the volunteer fire service. We are grateful to firefighters, EMS, Law Enforcement and the hospital staff for their valiant attempts to save Firefighter DeWolf," Anthony Verno, chairman, Wayne County Board of Supervisors, said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to Firefighter DeWolf and his family.”
