Officer Won't Be A Lieutenant At New Fire Station
Bluefield officials told Local 347 that the Cumberland Road satellite fire station will have a training officer but not a lieutenant. Capt. Sam Mitchem will run training for five to six weeks, then a shift commander will oversee both the new station and the Bland Street facility with no immediate lieutenant assignment. The union pressed for a lieutenant, while city leaders said the southside station already has one and the decision rests with fire officials.
