Members of RFC Swift Water Rescue Team assisted in this rescue.

On Friday September 11th all of the many departments that were involved in the boy scout rescue that took place on May 23, 2026 were recognized by State Senator Darren Thorne with a citation for their actions on that day.

Thank you Senator Thorne for recognizing the great first responders that we have here in Hampshire County and all that they do.

Public Service Announcement -

For some reason, a post from 11 years is surfacing and social media is placing it on people’s feeds for interaction.

The legal issue with our house siren from 2015 was resolved. The fire whistle is fully operational at this time.

While we understand why that post stirred emotions, that was 11 years ago, and there is no need to grab the pitchforks!

Thank you!

Bryan Beverage, Lieutenant, Romney Fire Company

*** Press Release from Capon Bridge Volunteer Fire Department****

CBVFD responds to assist with the rescue of 30 people off the Cacapon River.

Just after 3:30 PM, CBVFD was alerted for a water rescue of 30 people belonging to a group of Boy Scouts that had been floating on the Cacapon River. We learned that the group had been able to get out of the water and onto the banks of the river with everyone accounted for. However, the group had been split up and was scattered across at least three different locations along the riverbank.

Three rescue boats from Romney and Springfield fire companies were used to transport everyone safely to a nearby cabin. Other boats were placed on standby in case they were needed. The group was taken to a nearby cabin, where the owners generously allowed them to get inside to warm up. All were checked by EMS, and no injuries were reported. The last units cleared around 6:30 PM.

Also assisting with the incident were Hampshire EMS, Augusta EMS, Slanesville Fire, boat teams from Mineral County, and a boat team from Frederick County, VA.

*Volunteer today!* Contact us or your local fire station to find out how.

A routine Boy Scout river trip turned into a rescue mission when floodwaters trapped 28 scouts along the Cacapon River in West Virginia Saturday.
