PROVIDENCE -- Mayor David N. Cicilline has ordered that flags in Providence be flown at half staff in memory of Fire Capt. Frank J. Quetta, who died Tuesday.

Quetta, who received several commendations for bravery and heroic actions since joining the department in 1979, had been struggling with leukemia.

Frank was a great guy. I knew him from the fire service all the way back to the URI days with his Pontiac GTO. He will be missed.
