Flags to fly at half-staff in honor of fire cadet
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Gov. Mike DeWine has ordered flags to fly at half-staff in honor of a Cuyahoga County fire cadet who lost their life.
DeWine issued the order Saturday, one day after Cleveland Fire Cadet Symeon Williams, 39, died from a medical emergency during fitness training on Friday afternoon, according to WCMH's sister station WJW.
Starting Sunday, the half-staff order is in effect for the Ohio Statehouse, Vern Riffe Center, and Rhodes State Office Tower in Columbus and all public buildings and grounds in Cuyahoga County. The order will stay in effect until sunset on the day of Williams' funeral.
Other public buildings and grounds across the state may fly flags at half-staff at their discretion.
