Roane County Commission Chairman James Brummett was surprised to learn county vehicles didn’t have fire extinguishers in them.
“I would have thought we would have had that,” he said.
The vehicles could have some soon.

Budget director Kaley Walker said the need was discovered through the county’s risk management initiative.
