  3. Closest house but what was the staffing and training of that firehouse? If they only had two guys on the engine, what would be the point of arriving fast over a properly staffed unit arriving a couple of minutes later?

  6. Just heard a rumor from a couple different people that I hope to put to bed. Is Montrose VA still a HazMat team?
  7. What is a "Training & Experience" exam? How is it rank equal candidates?

  9. I don't understand.....why can't they build a new Station 1 AND a station at Ridge Hill at the same time??
  10. So all this taxpayer money was for nothing? Millions of dollars just down the drain? Any way to get a refund from the contractor?

  12. My question is more how is the County, or select municipalities, are technically awarding business that in other sectors of government would have to go out to a competitive bid? For example, a VAC can't get out.....a commercial provider who has the ALS contract advises 60 Control they have a BLS unit available, and then 60 Control assigns the call to that commercial provider skipping over retones (which we know don't work) and the next up mutual aid. Routinely.
