WILKES COUNTY, N.C.–A volunteer firefighter and an elderly man were killed in Wilkes County Thursday afternoon after strong thunderstorms ripped through the area.
Dispatch received a report of a tree on a man along Mountain Valley Church Road in the Mulberry-Fairplains Fire District.
Maurice Kilby, who turned 77 Tuesday, died when a large white pine tree fell on him in his yard, according to Mulberry-Fairplains Volunteer Fire Department Chief Ricky Gambill.
Gambill said strong winds blew over both forks of the tree, and the larger fork fell on Kilby's abdomen and chest. Kilby's wife found him and called for help, but he was deceased when emergency personnel arrived, he said.
Daniel Lambert, his grandson and a captain in the Mulberry-Fairplains Fire Department, was among the first on the scene when the accident occurred.
Kilby was a longtime election official in the community and was part of a large family living in the area around Mountain Valley Baptist Church.
Less than 10 minutes later Authorities said Tony Barker, 36, a member of the Mountain View Fire Department for a year and five months, was electrocuted at the scene of a small fire shortly after 3 p.m., after wind blew part of a large maple tree down across power lines behind Dale's Tire & Auto (formerly Absher's Garage) on Traphill Road near the Yellow Banks Road intersection.
A woman who lives near the scene said she saw Barker bending over as if to look more closely where flames were coming from beneath a small metal storage building behind the Dale's Tire & Auto building when he collapsed and she called for help. Other firefighters responded and pulled Barker away from the building.
Authorities said Barker was standing just to the left of the end of a metal storage building when he was electrocuted Thursday. Power lines fell on the building when wind blew part of a large tree on the power lines, behind the building.
Efforts by Mountain View Fire Department first responders and Wilkes Emergency Medical Services to revive Barker with CPR were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at Wilkes Regional Medical Center.
