Plans have been announced for a memorial service for a Ventura County firefighter who died in a traffic accident while fighting a brush fire.
The service for Ryan Osler will take place Monday at Calvary Community Church in Westlake Village. Osler died September 21st, when a water tanker truck being used to help fight the Canyon Fire on Vandenberg Air Force Base overturned near Lompoc.
The 38 year old firefighter leaves behind a wife and two children. He had been with the department for 18 years, and was a fire department engineer based in Moorpark.
A huge turnout of public safety workers is expected for the Monday service, which is closed to the public at the family’s request.
The Ventura County Professional Firefighters Association has set up a fund to help the Osler family. You can make donations through the Association’s website: www.vcpfa.org
