PROVIDENCE -- A long line of family and friends formed outside a funeral home this afternoon to pay their respects to Deputy Assistant Chief Michael J. Day, the firefighter who died this week while on duty at a city fire station.

Calling hours are 3 to 8 p.m. at the Russell J. Boyle Funeral Home, 331 Smith St. Various firefighters from the region plan to gather at the home with Mayor David N. Cicilline and Fire Chief David Costa at 5:30 p.m.

A funeral Mass will be held tomorrow at 8 a.m. at the Russell J. Boyle Funeral Home. It will be followed at 10 a.m. by a Mass of Christian burial at St. Pius Church, 44 Elmhurst Ave. Burial will follow at St. Ann Cemetery, 75 Church St., in Cranston.

Sign an online guestbook for Day.
