CROYDON, Pa. (WHTM) — A longtime Pennsylvania firefighter died Friday, a week after he was injured at a fire scene.

The Third District Volunteer Fire Company in Bristol Township, Bucks County, said longtime firefighter and past chief Ed Margavich died Friday.

He was injured battling a house fire in Croydon on August 8.

“Ed joined our organization in 1960,” his company said in a Facebook post. “He was known for his kindness, wisdom, and the infectious laughter that brightened our meetings. His spirit will be missed by all.”

The Newportville Fire Co. echoed similar sentiments.

“Chief Margavich dedicated his life to the fire service, joining in 1960 and serving with unwavering commitment, kindness, wisdom, and the infectious laughter that brightened every room he entered,” the company said. “His legacy of service and brotherhood will never be forgotten.”
