Misconduct In Office Charged In Winchester Fire Dept
A 1920 Winchester Virginia mayor report accuses Captain Hardy of the Friendship Fire Company of ordering a slow response to a fire alarm and placing old equipment in front of the truck. The special council meeting lacked quorum, delaying action, while evidence shows the rest of the fire department followed speed limits and procedures.
