Butler County fire community remembers former chief killed at Trump rally WPXI [Video]

BUFFALO TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Corey Comperatore never met a stranger in Butler County.

“He’s one of those guys – you just saw a smile. It lit up the room,” said Craig Cirrincione, 2nd lieutenant for the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company.

He loved the outdoors, was an active member of the Cabot Church, and served his community as the fire chief in Buffalo Township in the early 2000s.

But on Sunday, a black drape hung over Comperatore’s fire locker, a lifetime member of the department who hung up his Chief helmet, in part, to spend more time with his girls.

He was a family man and a protector until the very end.

“Shielding his daughters…the loves of his life,” said John Risch, former fire chief of the Winfield Township VFD. “This one hurts…this one hurts.”
