WORCESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - City officials in Worcester honored a fallen firefighter on Friday, one year after he died saving others from a burning building.

The wreath-laying ceremony took place for Worcester Fire Lt. Jason Menard.

Menard died last November while fighting a fire at a multi-family home.

The ceremony was streamed online due to the pandemic.

Menard, 39, is survived by a wife and three children.
