People came out in droves to Lake City today to pay respects to 31-year-old Josh Burch, a firefighter killed on Monday when he was overtaken by a wildfire in Hamilton county.
Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam says the men's families will never be without support.
"We'll be with them now in these chaotic moments, and we'll be with them for the long haul when things quiet down and the silence becomes so much more painful."
52-year-old Brett Fulton was also killed Monday fighting the fire alongside Burch. His funeral is being held tomorrow morning at 10:00 am at Christ Central Ministries Church in Lake City.
Anyone wishing to send correspondence to the family may do so at this address:
Family of Josh Burch or Family of Brett Fulton
