There’s currently an investigation into the Petersburg Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services, with reports swirling that it has to do with one station resorting to using an ambulance for fire calls due to a lack of engines. However, details are scarce at this point.
The Office of Emergency Medical Services pulled a city fire engine out of service Friday after its inspection sticker was found to be expired, reports WTVR. The city that day for a few hours only had one working engine and still has no ladders.
The department is supposed to have at least three engines and one ladder, according to the report.
