FIRE VOLUNTEERS ANSWERED IN MINUTES

IN VIEW OF the recent negative comments about the volunteer fire departments, I would like to praise the Blue Ridge, Troutville, Vinton and Fincastle departments.

They were at our church on April 2 within minutes of the call. The fire was quickly extinguished in a very professional way. These men and women deserve our praise and gratitude for a job well done.
