COLUMBIA (WACH) - City of Columbia officials announced Thursday that the official City of Columbia flag has been lowered at all City buildings for the day in memory of fallen Fire Captain Anthony Charles Moye.
"Our deepest condolences go out to the entire Moye family," said City Manager Teresa Wilson.

Moye was a Columbia firefighter for 22 years and also served as a Major in the United States Army.
Moye died Sunday night after losing control of his SUV while off-duty.
He will be buried at Fort Jackson National Cemetery.

"As managers make us aware of the loss of a city employee we will lower the City of Columbia flag in their memory," said Wilson.
