Paw Paw Volunteer Fire Department is mourning the loss of Lt. Ethan Quillen, who was electrocuted in the line of duty on Feb. 23, 2023.
The department said Quillen served with PPVFD since Sept. 19, 2019. He was described as a"selfless, kind, loving, hardworking" man who love his country and his community. "We would appreciate your thoughts and prayers for Ethan's family, his friends, his fellow firefighters, dispatchers, and all the other emergency responders that are suffering from this tragic loss," the department wrote in a statement.
As of Saturday morning, a GoFundMe account created by the department for Quillen's wife had raised over $96,500. Sporty's Pub & Veranda Grille, a local business, also said it would have a tribute jar out all weekend benefiting Quillen's wife, adding that 10% of sales on Friday and Saturday would be included in the jar.
