Gov. Eric Holcomb has directed that flags be flown at half-staff in Delaware County Thursday to honor a firefighter who died last week. Holcomb issued the order Wednesday. He asked that flags to be lowered from sunrise to sunset across Delaware County on Thursday in honor of Hamilton Township Volunteer Firefighter Jeffery Alan Blackmer. The Albany man died Dec. 20 of a sudden illness shortly after he and his colleagues had battled a barn fire.
