WEIRTON, W.Va. — Weirton City Council Monday night took the first steps to reopen the County Road fire station.
Council heard the first reading of an ordinance to reinstate a municipal service fee and raise it to $5. The fee would fund six additional firefighters at the County Road station, which had previously operated as a volunteer facility.
Council members also discussed the cost of new fire engines, ranging from $1.5 million for a basic engine to $2 million or more for a ladder truck.
