The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department is assisting with the search for the missing JFRD and Fairfax firefighters who went missing after going for a fishing trip out of the Port Canaveral area on Friday. JFRD said they sent 50 firefighters and 11 boats to help with the USCG Southeast's search of the Vilano and Daytona Beach area on Saturday morning. The boaters, identified as JFRD's Brian McCluney and Fairfax's Justin Walker were last seen leaving the 200 Christopher Columbus boat ramp in a 24-foot center console boat, the U.S. Coast Guard said. McCluney is an engineer at District 31 on the Westside, according to Randy Wyse with the Jacksonville Association of Firefighters. Wyse said McCluney and Walker were in McCluney's father's boat. McCluney's father had died just a few weeks prior.
