VIDEO: A fire department in the Southtowns believes the public is at risk because two county roads are in bad condition. The Mortons Corners Fire Department in Concord says because of the problems on those roads, their response time in getting to calls in some cases has doubled. Steve Bugary is the Mortons Corners Fire chief. Bugary says he feels he and his firefighters are forced to roll the dice in terms of public safety every day. And it all has to do with two county roads that lead into Zoar Valley. One of them is Grote Road. Bugary showed us what it's like. Not only are parts of the road crumbling, but there are also parts that appear to be sinking. "There's probably 12 to 18 swells in the road and to take one of these fire trucks down there is not going to happen it'll tip over," Bugary said. The other road is Trevett -- which was closed a year and a half ago after heavy rains washed out part of the road.
