Former Fire Chief Nominated for Permanent Post in Pomeroy
Henry Werry, a former Pomeroy fire chief, is recommended to fill the permanent chief position after a Sunday meeting of the Pomeroy Firemen's Association.

The association noted current captains Reed Will, William Stivers, and Bob Hysell would remain, and consolidation aims to unify equipment and headquarters under one roof with rosters certified by the state.
