Ohio has a new fire marshall but he’s not new to the business of firefighting. Former Ohio Rep. Larry Flowers has been chosen to the post. Before he served his time at the Statehouse, he served some thirty years in firehouses throughout Ohio. In an interview with Ohio Public Radio’s Jo Ingles, Flowers says he’s looking forward to his new job. |
