Early Saturday morning on October 14, 2017 the East Herkimer Fire Department assisted Middleville Fire Department, along with multiple area departments, at the scene of a major structure fire at the Herkimer Diamond Mines.
It is with deepest regrets we announce the passing of Firefighter Robert Fitch. Robert served as a volunteer firefighter of the East Herkimer Fire Department for 7 years. At the time of his death, he was our Safety Officer. Robert also held previous positions in the department; Vice President and Board of Directors. Robert passed away on November 28, 2017, after responding to a rescue call the night before on November 27, 2017.
Robert was a man who gave freely and generously of his time to those in need. Robert will be sadly missed by his brothers and sisters of the East Herkimer Fire Department and all those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
