Part of Monroe Avenue in Murrieta is shut down this morning for the funeral of the firefighter who died last week of complications resulting from an infection by a rare parasitic amoeba.

Capt. Matt Moore, 43, was a 17-year veteran of the Murrieta Fire Department.

Monroe Avenue is closed to traffic from California Oaks Road to Troyes Avenue through the service, which is at 11 a.m. at Calvary Chapel Murrieta, 24225 Monroe Ave.
