Funeral Wednesday for Farmland volunteer firefighter killed in crash

FARMLAND, Ind. (WISH) — Family, friends, and community members will gather Wednesday in Randolph County to honor and remember a volunteer firefighter killed in the line of duty.

The funeral for Kyle Osgood, assistant fire chief of the Farmland Volunteer Fire Department, is at 11 a.m. at Monroe Central Junior-Senior High School in Parkland City.

Osgood, 31, died Thursday morning when the fire tanker he was driving to a barn fire went out of control in a curve, drove off the roadway, and overturned. Osgood and 19-year-old firefighter Zachary Lee were pinned under the truck.

Osgood died at the scene. Lee was transported to a Fort Wayne hospital in critical condition.

Indiana State Police are investigating the crash.
