DAVIESS COUNTY, Ind.  – A volunteer firefighter in Davies County has been sentenced to six years behind bars for responding to the scene of a crash in Daviess County while he was drunk.

On the way to that crash, he hit another vehicle being driven by another volunteer firefighter, Kendall Murphy, who was killed.

Blake previously entered a guilty plea to causing death when operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

Blake does get credit for the 31 days served in jail but the court can modify his sentence to community corrections in the future.
