The New Sight Volunteer Fire Department is holding a prayer vigil Saturday night for one of the department’s own.

New Sight Fire Chief Cory Smith said the vigil, which will begin at 6 p.m. Saturday at the fire station, is for the department’s president and longtime firefighter Don Smith.

Chief Smith, who is not directly related to Don Smith, said the department president suffered a heart attack Monday and is at University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson in intensive care. Don Smith is a member of New Sight Baptist Church.

The public is invited to attend the vigil. The fire station is located at the corner of New Sight Road and New Hope Road.
