Firefighters in Amelia County are mourning the loss of one of their own after he died during a recent training exercise.
Amelia County Volunteer Fire Department Company 1 Chief Justin Wargofcak said William Moore IV, 48, of Amelia County, suffered a medical emergency and went into cardiac arrest Thursday, June 14. He was transported to the hospital where he later died.
Moore, who went by Billy, was a volunteer with the department for nearly two-and-a-half years, and was someone Wargofcak said responded to almost every call.
“[He joined for] that excitement and being able the help the communities,” Wargofcak said. “He was from Amelia, born and raised here, so he wanted to help the county out in any way he could."
