An ex-porn star is starting her life over on a local rescue squad.

It's generating plenty of controversy, but county leaders aren't happy about it and can't do much about it.

Harmony Rose is a volunteer at the Cave Spring Rescue Squad.

The 29-year-old apparently left the porn industry within the last two years and is now an EMT with the Cave Spring Rescue Squad.

A source tells WDBJ7 she passed a criminal background check and has been working at the squad for the last several months.

The squad's chief wouldn't discuss Rose's previous career.

Chief Laura Alexander says Rose is currently on a six month probation period; that is standard for new volunteers.

Rose's previous career prompted Roanoke County Fire Chief Rick Burch to recently seek legal advice from the county attorney.

In a letter obtained by WDBJ7, County Attorney Paul Mahoney points out Roanoke County doesn't have much power when it comes to volunteer rescue squads.

The letter states "it has been the practice of Roanoke County not to interfere in the internal membership decisions of volunteer rescue squads like Cave Spring. These decisions are left to the volunteers."

But the letter points out safety personnel are held to a higher standard than other employees. "They must exhibit the highest degree of trustworthiness and public esteem since they will be dealing with citizens when they are most vulnerable, or entering citizens' homes and businesses under emergency circumstances."

"Anything that results in public ridicule of volunteer squads, departments, or the County must be avoided."

Roanoke County Attorney Paul Mahoney also points out rescue squads tend to have volunteer trainees as young as 16 and 17 years old.

The letter asks "will parents be unwilling to allow their minor children to participate under these circumstances? Will this harm future volunteer recruitment?"

The last line of the letter says "it is my recommendation that you support the decision of the volunteer chief if she decides
to terminate the membership of this individual.

Chief Laura Alexander says as of this week, Rose is working at the rescue squad.

After her six month probation period, the squad's members will vote and decide whether Rose becomes a permanent member.

WDBJ7 reached out to Rose through Chief Alexander.

Rose hasn't contacted us.

I don't understand. She didn't commit any crimes but because she puts on film what everyone does she's criminalized? Pathetic.

Well, if she has the body of a porn star, then perhaps her critics are afraid that she might give men heart attacks.

HOT DAUMMM!!!

She can blow, er, I mean, resuckatate me anytime.

She's gorgeous.

It appears you have been stealing images from someone elses bandwidth.
Naughty naughty.

To post an image you need to have your images on your own site or on photobucket or something.

I don't know what the image was, but it must have been pornographic by the amount of drooling from the good old boys horny man crowd.

this photo is covered under the fair use act.

I am not attempting to profit from its use, but provide background to the story.

I find it odd that you would promote the police state..

good job

And I'm a damn proud member!



I'd still do the gals ranging from the to the

You don't understand bandwidth. It is the bandwidth you are stealing... not the image. Sorry for the mixup.

If you want to use the photo, copy it and put it on your own Photobucket account or your own website then link to it from there..

To link directly to a picture on someone elses site uses their bandwidth which they have to pay for.

It does not matter if the photo itself is "public domain," "fair use" free, or whatever.

It has nothing to do with "promoting a police state."

I'm just offering a suggestion if you want to use images....


Many sites will have an automatic web bot that will replace the image with a note that tells them not to link to their images directly. I can't read what your note says because its not in English.

Of course she cannot be an EMT.

Porn stars are TME.

Too Much Entertainment!



Now that she is retired though I see know reason why she can't
turn it all around!
