“In the face of the opioid epidemic, Chief Rader has shown incredible courage and served as a pillar of strength for the Huntington community,” Manchin said in a release Monday. “And as the first woman to lead a professional fire department in the state, she broke down barriers for young women across our state, and has served as a role model for all West Virginians.”
