Boiling Springs Virginia Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department has lost a 49-year veteran firefighter in the line of duty.

Steve A Weikle age 70, responded with the BSD to a structure collapse on Feb. 13, 2025.

The structure collapsed trapping farm animals inside the structure. No firefighters were injured while removing the animals.

However, a short time later Weikle was found in cardiac arrest outside of his home.

BSD says that because the medical emergency happened within 24 hours of working the fire, The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation considers it to be a line of duty death.

Weikle will be laid to rest with full fire department honors.

Rest In Peace, Hero 💔🖤
