It is with profound sadness that the Greater Hanover Area Fire Museum and the Hanover Area Fire & Rescue Commission mourns the unexpected passing of Fire Commissioner James Roth this afternoon.

Commissioner Roth was a true icon of the fire service whose dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the Fire Museum, the Fire & Rescue Commission, and the community he loved have left an immeasurable legacy. His impact will continue to be felt for generations of firefighters, EMS providers, and the citizens we are honored to serve.

During this incredibly difficult time, we respectfully ask that everyone afford the Roth family the privacy and space they need as they navigate this tremendous loss. Funeral arrangements and service details will be shared as they become available.
