Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of former West Ridge Fire Department and West Lake Fire Department firefighter Jacob Stafford.

Our hearts continue to hurt as we have been informed of the passing of former Charleston Firefighter, Engineer Jacob Stafford. Although Jacob left the department in 2016 to join the US Army Special Forces Green Beret, his impact stayed with so many people. We pray for peace and comfort to his family, friends, brothers and sisters. Til Valhalla.
