We regret to pass on to you that a northeast Missouri Firefighter was killed in the Line of Duty and another was injured after a rollover crash involving their responding fire apparatus.
It happened around 1815 hours this evening on Highway 15, three miles north of Memphis, (Scotland County, south of the Iowa line) Missouri.
The 2 Firefighters, members of the Memphis Volunteer Fire Department were both ejected from the fire apparatus. One of the Firefighters, 33 y/o Jesse Ketchum, was pronounced at the scene. The second Firefighter, John Chancellor, involved was transported to Scotland County Hospital by EMS and then flown to University Hospital in Columbia where he is listed in serious condition.
More to follow. KTIYP’s.
