Ackerman was a 14-year volunteer with nearby Valley Springs Fire and Rescue.

He was the 43rd firefighter to die in the line of duty in South Dakota since 1924, and the 22nd volunteer firefighter to be killed.

His funeral is 2 p.m. Sunday at the Brandon Valley High School gymnasium. Fire trucks will line the route from the gym to the cemetery, and the number could surpass 100 as officials from fire departments around the country make plans to attend the services.

Leaders in the town of 9,500 expect about 2,500 people to attend the services.
