  According to Fire Chief Bruce James, the purpose of the inspection is to review the ISO rating of the fire department to see if any changes need to be made.
  
  James says part of the inspection may require some flow testing of fire hydrants in the area covered by the department.
  
  During these testing days, James advises residents to use caution when using water, especially before washing clothes or bathing.
  
  He says residents should let their water run a few minutes to clear any sediments that may be disturbed during the testing.
  
  "We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause," the department said in a statement.
  
  If water discoloration does not clear up after running it several minutes, residents are advised to contact the Bradley-Prosperity Fire Department or Beckley Water Co. for assistance in clearing their lines.
  
  "We appreciate your patience during this period," James said.

  A definitive cause of the fire was not reported, but James said it appeared to have been electrical.

  Chief Bruce James confirmed Thursday that the department's Station No. 2 on Ragland Road has been sold.He declined to name a price.However, the department made a deal with the building's purchaser to keep a fire engine at the building for at least one year, so fire protection and insurance ratings would not be affected.
  
  James said the move comes after the department has undergone financial hardship.In November, the department's bingo operations were halted.He said the department also lost money after video lottery legalization and leasing the Beckley Motor Speedway, and it owed multiple creditors.
  
  James now says financial conditions are improving and the department plans to eventually build another station on Ragland Road if conditions are favorable.Selling the No. 2 station and property located across the road from the department's main station on W.Va. 16 in Bradley has led to the improvements.
  
  "We are still working hard," he said."A lot of people owed money are paid, but it's still a struggle every day."
  
  He noted the department already has materials needed to construct a new station on Ragland Road, but it just needs property.
  
  However, it must still find an effective way to generate revenue, James said.
