“It’s a sad situation with the deceased. But everyone did a great job,” said Garrett “GT” Parsons, chief of the Romney Volunteer Fire Department, who arrived at the scene shortly after being notified around 5:25 a.m.
Parsons received a call that a two-unit apartment house on Bolton Street was on fire and that people may be trapped inside.
“He radioed me direct,” said Parsons.
The person behind the radio contact was Dustin Amtower, a fellow firefighter and close friend of Parsons. Amtower was the first to discover the blaze.

The fire chief of the New Creek Volunteer Fire Department, Amtower was driving east on U.S Route 50 to work his shift as a paid firefighter with the city of Winchester, Va.
