ROANOKE CO., Va. – The Winter Olympics have come to Station 12 for Roanoke County Fire and Rescue. The department posted a video of some members showing off their winter athletic skills, from curling with stretchers to team luge and even hockey.
“We were watching the Winter Olympics this morning on TV, and I said, ‘Ya know, I think we can do that a lot better,’” Roanoke County Firefighter John Morton said with a smile. “So I was brainstorming, and I called up Laura, our public outreach coordinator, and I said, ‘Hey, I got an idea.”
That idea has now gone viral; in the last four hours, it has been viewed on Facebook over 85,000 times.
