Roanoke County Supervisors hear Green Ridge Mtn Fire Recap
Roanoke County Fire officials detailed the Green Ridge Mountain Fire wrap-up for Roanoke County Supervisors Tuesday. Chief Rick Burch says overall the response and effort of fire personnel was excellent, but with everything, some things can be done better...
Burch says the length of shifts was also a fatigue problem. He says twelve hour shifts became fourteen and fifteen hours each. He says the department needs to come up with a plan to give firefighters longer down time between shifts on a major fire like Green Ridge Mountain.
