HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - It was a somber salute for a South Florida firefighter.
A procession was held for Chris Allen, a 23-year veteran of Hollywood Fire Rescue.
His casket was carried on the department’s high water rescue truck, which he was driving before his death.
Officials said Allen had a heart attack earlier in June, days after he drove through flooded streets searching for stranded people.
He was 58 years old.
