30-year Read Mountain Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department dissolves due to low volunteer numbers.
Read Mountain Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department dissolves after 30 years due to low volunteer numbers, matching the nationwide trend of declining volunteerism. The department, which served Read Mountain areas of Botetourt and Roanoke Counties since 1991, faced an unsustainable low membership level, leading to its dissolution. Botetourt County Fire-EMS will continue to support the Read Mountain area.
