From the Tribune staff reports
ST. CLAIR COUNTY — Fire Marshal Jeff Fore of Trussville Fire and Rescue died on Monday following a medical emergency, according to Chief Tim Shotts.
Fore also served as assistant fire chief at TFRD.
“He was working out at home before work,” Shotts said. “His wife found him non-responsive and called for help. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeff’s family.”
Shotts said he believed the Pleasant Hill Fire Department responded to the Fore home and life saving measures were administered, but to no avail. He was transported to St. Vincent’s East Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Fore was promoted from captain to assistant chief in 2019. He leaves behind a wife and two daughters.
Funeral arrangements have not been announced at this time, but will be reported in the Tribune when available.
