Sheltra, who was 20 years old and the department’s Rookie of the Year at the time, died fighting a blaze at the Edwin Watts Golf Store off Pineville-Matthews Road. His death was due to smoke inhalation.

 

 

The Department of Labor cited the fire department for failure to establish and implement a written respiratory protection program, failure to send Sheltra in alongside another firefighter who would be in voice contact with him, failure to have at least two employees outside the store to provide assistance or emergency rescue, and failure to maintain forms from the Occupational Health and Safety Administration for three years.
