Answering a new call: Chesapeake’s fire chief plans a career in law | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com
For the past four years, fire Chief Steve Best has carried his blue L.L. Bean bookbag to work. He’s eaten peanut butter crackers for dinner more nights than he can count and sat in classes until 10 p.m.
Best has studied in his city office over lunch breaks and taken leave from work to cram for finals. There have been weekend trips to the Outer Banks with a laptop but no real family vacations.
