A former volunteer fire chief was struck and killed by a tanker truck that was backing into a northwestern Pennsylvania fire station.
Troopers from the Kane barracks say 60-year-old Don Ishman died in the accident at the Hilltop Volunteer Fire Department in Cyclone. That's about 150 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, a few miles south of the New York border.
Police said Ishman, the fire company's former chief, was helping out on a public service detail and trying to guide the driver of the tanker truck, who was backing into the station.
The McKean County coroner's office pronounced Ishman dead at the scene.
He was a 40-year member of the fire company and served in several leadership roles.
