If you know the date of his death, then most likely there was something in the Worcester T & G, reporting on the fire and his death.
The Worcester Public Library has back issues of the Worcester newspaper on microfilm.
If you are not from this area, then if you post his name and death date perhaps someone will look up the information for you.
Good luck with your search.

Try looking under the
U.S. Fire Administration
When you get there, check under
Fire Fighter Fatalities.
Here is the link.
