CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Authorities on Sunday released the names of five people killed in separate weekend crashes in West Virginia, including two firefighters whose fire truck hit a rock wall while responding to the other accident. The other accident involved three vehicles on Interstate 64-77, also known as the West Virginia Turnpike. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, an entity of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, more than 95 per cent of West Virginia fire departments are all or mostly volunteer. But when it’s someone you know and work with and see on a daily basis, it’s extremely difficult,” Shane Hudnall, a West Virginia Division of Highways safety officer, told WOWK-TV. In York, Pennsylvania, two firefighters were killed and two were injured when a former piano factory collapsed Thursday.
