Bristol Virginia Believes Sending A Fire Truck On All Calls To Assist The Local Life Saving Crew Is A Bad Idea And Isn’t The Best Way To Use Taxpayer Money. Bristol Virginia Mayor Bill Hartley Said The Goal Is And Will Always Be To Provide Safety To Residents But There’s Also A Responsibility To Be Good Stewards Of Tax Dollars. City Fire Chief Mike Armstrong Is Implementing A 90 Day Trial System Which Will Allow The Life Saving Crew To Respond To Medical Calls First, Without His Department’s Assistance. The Issue Will Be Revisited Later.
