DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON— The body of a Toivola firefighter killed while battling a wildfire in Oregon last week has been brought home.
Collin Hagan, 27, was with the Craig Interagency Hot Shots from Colorado. He was hit by a falling tree Wednesday while working on the Big Swamp fire in the Willamette National Forest.
Firefighters in Oregon paid their respects by escorting Hagan’s body to a funeral home.
He was met Saturday night by a number of fire departments from Houghton, Baraga, and Ontonagon counties. They provided an escort on US-41 from the Houghton County Airport to Memorial Chapel Funeral and Cremation in Hancock.
