VIDEO: Previous Coverage CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — City of Charleston leaders tell 13 News that they have discussed a plan with West Virginia American Water to fix faulty fire hydrants in the historic Edgewood neighborhood. This comes after a fire on Chester Road Friday that was difficult to put out due to three faulty fire hydrants closest to the home. The damage was so severe that the building was demolished on Saturday, under 24 hours following the start of the fire. 13 News has learned that the Charleston Fire Department has a plan to ensure proper coverage and they are working with the county, the city of Dunbar, the West Virginia National Guard and the City Streets Department to ensure there are additional water resources available.
