A member of the Cobb Island Volunteer Fire Department in Charles County, Maryland, died tragically this weekend while attempting to perform a water rescue. FF Chris Staley, age 21, was attending a family picnic on the shores of the Potomac river when one of the guests swimming in the river began to struggle and drown. Chris entered the water to attempt a rescue, and tragically both of them lost their lives. We are awaiting further determinations and details from the NFFF from his FD’s leadership.
Our sincere condolences.
