A fallen firefighter was honored on Saturday.

Electric City Harley Davidson sponsored a ride in honor of Captain James Robeson.

The 25 year veteran of the Scranton Fire Department was killed on January 6th, while fighting a fire on Ash Street in Scranton.

Robeson’s widow, Linda, was touched by the turnout, “Its been an overwhelming, beautiful day. The support of the fire department and the support of all these strangers, people we don't even know."

Michael Adams, a firefighter came for the ride from Williamsport, “It just shows that fireman, we always stick together. It’s a brotherhood that you can't explain to people."

Over 125-bikers turned out for the event.

Proceeds from today's ride will benefit Captain Robeson's family.
