Lack Of Manpower Hampering Fire Marshal's Office
WEST VIRGINIA....
State Fire Marshal Sterling Lewis says a lack of manpower is hampering the West Virginia Fire Marshal's Office's ability to do its job and serve the public the way it should. Lewis says the office has 10 investigators and about 300 open cases, and twice as many investigators are needed. Lewis says money is there to increase the office's staff, but he needs legislative approval. Lewis says his office's investigators pay is insufficient.
