Kenockee Twp. Mich. — Peter G. Neilson, past fire chief with 25 years of service to this community has passed away while on a medical emergency call.

At 22:21 the fire department was dispatched to a medical emergency in the 8000 block of Metcalf Rd. Peter Neilson had entered the home and was talking to family members when he slowly sat down and became unconscious.
