Joint viewing and funeral services for two Berks County firefighters killed in the line of duty April 4 will be held in the Fleetwood High School auditorium, 803 N. Richmond St., Fleetwood.
The viewings for Walnuttown Fire Chief Jeffory L. Buck and Assistant Chief Robert R. Shick Jr. will be held Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The funerals will be held Saturday at 11 a.m., with the doors opening at 9:15. There is no viewing Saturday, and burials will be private.
Buck and Shick were in a utility vehicle searching for a missing woman Saturday when they were hit by a vehicle while they were on the shoulder of Route 222 in Richmond Township. A New York man, who was driving the vehicle that hit them, has been charged with vehicular homicide while DUI, hit-and-run and involuntary manslaughter.
All Pennsylvania and U.S. flags on state facilities, public buildings and grounds across the state were ordered Monday to fly at half-staff immediately in honor of Buck and Shick.
