On Wednesday night, Roanoke County turned over the keys of the Read Mountain Fire Station to Botetourt County. The fire station was a joint venture between the two counties, sitting on the county line and serving residents in both jurisdictions. Back when it was built, Botetourt didnt have the resources to manage it, so Roanoke County did. Botetourt County still provided funds and employees, but Roanoke County maintained ownership. Botetourt County Fire-EMS Chief Jason Ferguson said people in the area wont notice the change.
