Part of Monroe Avenue in Murrieta will be shut down Thursday for the funeral of a firefighter who died last week from 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 will be closed to traffic from California Oaks Road to Troyes Avenue beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing through the service, which begins at 11 a.m. at Calvary Chapel Murrieta, 24225 Monroe Ave.

The procession to the chapel will begin about 10:30 a.m. from Fire Station No. 1, 41825 Juniper Street, heading west to Washington Avenue, turning north on Washington, east on Kalmia Street and crossing under Interstate-15 at California Oaks Road, then north on Monroe Avenue.

Members of the public attending the funeral should enter Monroe Avenue off Jackson Avenue.
