The Woodstock Fire Department says it remains “committed to protecting the people and property of the Woodstock community.” That statement in the wake of one of its members being accused of setting a weekend fire.
The Friday night blaze destroyed a historic building on West Locust Street. Not long after, the Shenandoah County Fire Marshall’s Office announce that it had determined the fire was intentionally set and that it was a member of the Woodstock Fire Department who had set it.
That member, Ray Boyd Kerns, has since been suspended. The WFD says it will be fully cooperative with all law enforcement investigations of the incident.
