Pridemore died after falling about 25 feet from a scissor lift while cleaning at the firehouse March 7. The scissor lift was knocked over when someone pushed the button to raise all the firehouse garage doors, and the door going up near the scissor lift knocked over the lift, Wilson said.
Pridemore joined the fire company in 1991 and served in several leadership roles including president and vice president. He was elected chief last year after two years as deputy chief.
