2 LODDs in West Virgina 2-19-09

[Guest]

It is with deep regret we advise you that 2 Firefighters were killed in the Line of Duty last night (Thursday night) while fighting a mobile home fire in Nicholas County, West Virginia. The 2 Firefighters killed were members of the Craigsville Volunteer Fire Department...the fire happened in the town of Cottle. Initial reports are that they were killed while inside the structure. 1 of the men was a senior veteran FF, the other had several years experience. Additional details will follow. As always, our most sincere condolences.

Take Care-BE CAREFUL.
