WPTV 5 interviews Fire Chief Thomas Wood and Deputy Chief David Woodside about the benefits of the department’s new weather station instruments at each Fire station. These instruments help measure critical weather information such as wind speeds during a hurricane. This allows emergency responders to make decisions as to when they are allowed to bring their vehicles out during a storm while they are working to keep our City and residents safe.
