Dean was a respected 20-year veteran of the department and the Deputy Chief of Training and Operations. The 42-year-old died after a month-long battle with COVID-19.
In September, he was honored with the sounding of an old fire siren. Later, a parade of fire and emergency vehicles was held along a 13-mile procession.
