Funeral arrangements have been scheduled for Rye firefighter Lt. Charles Gallant.
Gallant died Friday at the age of 56 after working an overtime shift. A hearse carried his body from Concord to Rye Sunday was honored with firefighters standing on overpasses holding flags, according to Patch coverage of the procession.
Rye firefighters and residents stood at attention with hands over their hearts as the procession passed the fire station.
