West Virginia firefighters identified. Craigsville Lt. Johnnie Hammons and FF Timothy Nicholas killed in trailer fire.
Earlier coverage from STATter911.com
Excerpts from from WSAZ-TV article:
The State Fire Marshal's Office says Lt. Johnnie Hammons, 49, and Timothy Nicholas, 26, were the firefighters killed in a fire in Nicholas County Friday morning.
Hammons had been on the fire department for around 11 years, while Nicholas served for about a year. Both died while fighting a trailer fire on Route 20 in Craigsville Thursday night.
Investigators believe they might have died after the roof of the trailer collapsed.
Cook says that when the Craigsville Volunteer Fire Department arrived at the scene, the fire was mostly in a camping trailer that was parked about four feet from the mobile home. The fire spread to the mobile home.

Dave,
Two guys died. Any chance you could actually investigate what happened to them and give us some info.

I would love to know more, but that is a bit out of my area. It is 336 miles from Washington,DC.
I am going to have to leave it to the local media, but will pass on what ever comes out.
So far, the only thing I have read of substance is of a possible collapse.
Thanks,
Statter
