The Worcester fire department continues to investigate the death of Lt. Jason Menard.

Menard died last week after entering a burning 3-story apartment building. Officials say he was responding to reports of a baby trapped on the third floor. While no baby was found, Menard did save the life of a fellow firefighter.

WBUR's Simón Rios was at Menard's funeral Monday morning and joined Morning Edition to share more.
