Hundreds Attend Funeral Of Fallen Firefighter


Michael Dale Garrett, 28, was laid to rest just one week after he was killed in the line of duty.
Garrett was a Nutter Fort Volunteer Firefighter and responded to a collapsed cell tower where two men were trapped.
After arriving at the scene, a second cell tower fell on top of him.
A funeral was held at the Nathan Goff Armory in Clarksburg on Saturday. More than 70 fire departments attended the funeral to pay their respects.
There were also police officers and emergency personnel in attendance.
After the funeral the procession traveled to the Greenlawn Cemetery where two ladder trucks flew the American flag, and guests could say their final goodbyes to a man who everyone will truly miss.
Garrett's last call rang out before 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
