Procession to escort two Rowan-Iredell firefighters killed in ATV accident

SALISBURY, NC (WBTV) – Community members are invited to express their support and respect during a support procession Tuesday for two firefighters who died in an ATV accident in West Virginia this weekend.

Daniel Sell and Jacob Steele of the Rowan-Iredell Fire Department are escorted from West Virginia to Summerset Funeral Home in Salisbury.

The procession is expected to arrive around noon and will travel from Statesville through Salisbury, taking I-77 to Highway 70 to West Innes and ending at the funeral home.

After news of the firefighters’ deaths became known, Rowan County Emergency Services said they were grateful for the “overwhelming support of the community during this difficult chapter.”

It was clear to the officials that her death had nothing to do with the fire department.
