The Conicville Volunteer Fire Department recently reiterated its demand that Shenandoah County assign paid responders to its station. Whether or not the Board of Supervisors finds the money needed to hire more firefighters remains uncertain as county officials head into budget-making season. But District 2 Supervisor Steven Baker, whose area includes Conicville, has tried and failed to persuade the board to fund paid responders for the station. Baker repeated his request at a recent board meeting.
