A legally blind hiker who had not been seen since last Sunday was found by firefighters Saturday evening near U.S. 501 and Virginia 130 in the Snowden area of Amherst County.
Ken Knight, 41, was found at the base of Little Rocky Row after a small signal fire he lit got out of control, turning into a 2-acre brush fire on the ridge that got everyones attention, said Lt. Brandon Cocke of the Big Island Volunteer Fire Department.
As Big Island firefighters came in to fight the fire, firefighter Blair Edwards ran into Knight walking the other way at 5:12 p.m., Cocke said.
He was fine, Cocke said. He was talking, laughing and carrying on.
