MARION, Virginia – WJHL reports that an Adwolfe Volunteer Fire Department firefighter died while fighting a house fire on North Overlook Drive, in Marion, on Wednesday just after 2 a.m.
“Our fireman, Charles Woods, had taken one of our tankers to a local hydrant to fill up and to come back to the scene. When he arrived back to the scene, he parked the tanker and was awaiting his turn to dump water into the drop tanks for the firemen that were fighting fire. When it was his turn to dump, they contacted him, he did not respond, they at that time found him unresponsive inside of the truck,” PIO Charles Moser told WJHL.
Woods was transported to Smyth County Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The cause of the death is expected to be sudden cardiac arrest.
