By Assistant Chief Thomas Buckmaster
May 16, 2021
Our members are deeply saddened by the passing of Raleigh Midkiff III. Raleigh was a member of our department for many, many years and just recently transferred to Dunkirk Volunteer Fire Department. Raleigh was also a career firefighter with D.C. Fire Department. Raleigh served in many positions in our department, most recently serving as Deputy Fire Chief. Our department and community were enriched by his dedication and leadership. Our thoughts and prayers are with Raleigh’s family and friends.
We will update you with funeral information as we receive it.
