Our condolences to the Vanderpool family and the White Oak Fire
Department of West Liberty, Kentucky. FireFighter Steven Vanderpool,
28, a volunteer firefighter with several local fire departments,
died Saturday February 24, 2007. On February 11, 2007, Steven was

from his injuries two weeks later.
