Preparations are underway to support the family of recently deceased firefighter Luke Sheehy. The 28-year-old perished on June 10 as a result of injuries received on the Saddle Back Fire on the Modoc National Forest in northeast California.

There will be a procession to honor and transport Luke Sheehy on Wednesday from Alturas, Calif. to Susanville, Calif.  The Sheehy family would like the procession in Alturas to remain a private family affair.  For Susanville, close family and the firefighter community are invited.

Details on the agency memorial ceremony are currently pending.  The ceremony is planned for June 23 at 1 p.m. at the Civic Auditorium in Redding, Calif.  The Sheehy family has requested that family members, close friends, fire community and all those who want to honor Luke are invited to attend. Agency guidance will be coming with specific direction on those approved to attend.

The family will be holding a separate memorial at the Walker Mansion Inn located in Westwood, Calif. on June 22 at 2 p.m.
