    RetiredDC liked a post in a topic by FFPCogs in "political correctness" is not correct   
    Fascism flourishes when the fear to speak your mind replaces the freedom to do so. Remember Nazism was "politically correct" once too.

    To the "PC" police...
    You may not like what I have to say, but I have the right to say it...you only have the right not to listen.

    Do we owe the public the truth about their fire depts. ability to handle a structure fire? What I mean by that is we ask the taxpayers for money to run the dept, yet in truth, on any given day at any given time, it takes more than THAT dept to control the situation. Forget career / volunteer bs, this is across the board. This is not about the big one or needing a tanker/tender shuttle operation, this is the room and contents, fire that your patch on your sleeve proudly says WE CAN HANDLE.
    Mutual aid to cover the empty fire houses, no problem.
    Why is it the neighboring taxpayers responsibility to send its tax dollar funded dept to assist with your BASIC fire.
    something is wrong here, and the longer we put our heads in the sand......................

    Great decision Hap, enjoy many years ahead.
    It was interesting back in the 80's when presenting a pump operator course in the old classroom with you "talking" on the other side of the glass LOL.
    Good luck to a swell guy/dispatcher.

    When I was promoted to Lieutenant, January 1975, my "officer training" consisted of one sentance via the Chief of Department (who shall remain nameless) To Quote: "A good fire officer is not well liked by his men." I did not follow that advise. That was the mentallity back then.

    Why would anyone taking a promotional exam give another competitor a correct answer? In all of the tests that I took, there was no way in Hell that I would help another during the test. Studying with others prior to the test? Yes, but when the chips are down you're on your own.
