Community Mourns New York Fire Police Officer - Firehouse.com In The Line Of Duty:

"MENANDS, N.Y.-- Mourners filed in and out of the village fire station Tuesday to remember Capt. Edgar Scott, killed Tuesday as he drove two colleagues to the scene of a motorcycle crash on Interstate 787.

'It's very tough, always tough responding to one of your own,' said Menands Fire Chief Frank Primo. 'It's devastating. It's a large loss to us and to the community. He will never be forgotten.'

Scott, 75, was driving a van southbound when it collided with a propane tanker at about 5:07 p.m. Scott was thrown from the van and died at the scene, said Trooper Maureen Tuffey, a State Police spokeswoman."
