It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of our fellow firefighter and brother Roy Smith, III. Roy was responding to a structure fire from his home when he was involved in a single vehicle accident. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
At approximately 01:00 hrs on Friday morning, Company 80 responded to an automatic fire alarm which was the result of a fire in an attic. Roy Smith, III left his house to respond to the incident.
Roy Smith, III. has been a dedicated member of Company 80 for over a year. Roy was also a junior at Spotswood High School in Penn Laird, VA.
Roy will be greatly missed by his Comany 80 family.
We would like to express our thanks to everyone who has left kind words and prayers on our website guestbook. We know that Roy would be proud to say that he is part of the brotherhood of firefighters.
