Shocked and profoundly grieved we announce the loss of one of our own,
Fire Police Lt. Tom DiOrio.

At 12:40 pm Sunday November 30th the West Whiteland Fire Company
responded to an alarm at 189 Sterling Court.  Fortunately, the residents, alerted by smoke detectors, escaped the blaze of a third-floor storage closet.  It was during the alarm that Tom, while directing traffic and doing what he loved, suffered an apparent heart attack.  Tom will be remembered as a compassionate man who never let his age undermine his ability to help others.  In December he would have been appointed Fire Police Captain.
