Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone that is soon to be affected by Hurricane Helene. By this time tomorrow evening, many affected will be without power or without a home. Hard to fathom something that catastrophic, and being totally helpless to stop it. Please keep all of them in your prayers ❤️

It is with great sadness that I announce that Boone County Fire Protection District Assistant Chief Matthew Tobben died this morning during a swift water rescue operation.

Assistant Chief Matt Tobben was assisting the Columbia Fire Department during a swift water rescue operation at Rangeline Street and Bear Creek early this morning. The firefighters had rescued two individuals when the zodiac boat overturned and Chief Tobben was thrown from the boat and drowned. The Columbia Firefighter and the two victims originally rescued were able to be rescued and are doing ok.

Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Scott Olsen, Fire Chief
Boone County Fire Protection District
