Fuel shortages could affect W.Va. emergency vehicles
http://www.wkyt.com/Global/story.asp?S=3789327

At least two West Virginia counties have been scrambling to find enough fuel to run their emergency vehicles and public transportation systems following looming fuel shortages caused by Hurricane Katrina.

The Transit Authority in Huntington, which supplies fuel to its fleet of buses, ambulances for Cabell County Emergency Services and to the Cabell County Sheriff's Department, only has enough gasoline for police cruisers until Friday, Vickie Shaffer, TTA general manager, told The Herald-Dispatch for Wednesday's edition.

Diesel fuel for buses and county ambulances would dwindle by the middle of next week, she said.

"What we have here in my opinion is an early indication the problem is bigger than we thought it would be," Shaffer said. "We may have an interruption in fuel, and we need to address that."
