Firefighter Lt Robby Brannon Laid To Rest In Bluefield
Funeral for Lt. Robert C. Brannon drew 60 to 70 uniformed firefighters and 200 civilians as a church service honored a life of service. Firefighters led the two mile motorcade, with the flag presented to Brannon’s widow and bells tolling. Brannon died after a heart attack while battling a house fire on April 26, first city firefighter killed in the line of duty since 1926.
