Some Roanoke fire union members say their fire department is involved in
dangerous down sizing.
They contacted News 7 this afternoon and wanted to remain anonymous for fear
of negative fall out from management.
They contend a lack of personnel may jeopardize the safety of Roanoke
citizens and force members to work too much unscheduled overtime.
But the Fire Chief and the fire department's union president says that's far
from the truth.
One civic leader says he's not so sure.

The auditor says the county has 1-point-4 million dollars--give or take a
few bucks--in reserves.
The audit is based on figures from the 1995 fiscal year and the projected
carryover from the 1996 fiscal year.
The auditor recommended a percentage of this money be kept in the coffers in
case of an emergency.
((HARRIS: THAT FIGURE WITH OUR BUDGET WOULD BE SOMEWHERE AROUND 750-THOUSAND

Recently the board voted for a three cents per hundred dollars real estate
tax increase that's four cents less than the board had planned.
The board ALSO planned to raise personal property taxes 60 cents per hundred
dollars but due to the large amount of money in reserves that amount has been
decreased to 26 cents.
The board eliminated the controversial six dollar fee for waste removal.
This environmental fee paid for trash removal and up-keep of the closed
landfill.
Residents say these changes are nice but they hope this new board brings
