CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A Kanawha County firefighter was lost and presumed dead in Raleigh County overnight, after the boat he was in capsized.
The firefighter, whose name was not released Saturday morning, was in the Bradley area on a rescue mission when a boat that he and several other firefighters were in turned over.
“It appears that he was lost when his boat capsized,” Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper said Saturday morning. “They are hoping they can find him. We’ve got a Blackhawk helicopter, other people from Kanawha County, the National Guard ... they’re all out there looking.”
