USA — HUNTINGTON, Texas — A veteran East Texas volunteer firefighter has been found dead after a blaze in a wooded area near his residence.

Angelina County Sheriff Kent Henson says an autopsy has been ordered on 47-year-old David Goins. Goins was assistant chief of the Huntington Volunteer Fire Department.

Fellow firefighter Kimberly Clark says Texas Forest Service personnel were responding to reports of a brush fire when Goins was discovered dead late Thursday afternoon. An agency spotter plane had been investigating smoke in the area.
