Gov. Joe Manchin has ordered all flags flown at half-staff to honor two volunteer firefighters who died battling a blaze.

Manchin's order coincides with funeral services scheduled Tuesday at the Summersville Armory for 49-year-old Lt. Johnnie Hammons and 26-year-old Timothy Nicholas, both of Craigsville. They were members of the Craigsville Beaver Cottle Volunteer Fire Department.

Both men were killed Thursday night while fighting a mobile home fire in the Cottle area.
