Command of the Burtonsville Volunteer Fire Station has been handed over to career fire officials because volunteers repeatedly failed to properly manage the station, leading to repeated claims of theft and public urination, county officials said.

The volunteer firefighters dispute the claims and call the county's action illegal....

I'm glad the volunteer officers have the balls to admit something is wrong instead of trying to sweep it under the rug.

Oh wait....

wooooooow, WTF? What is with the combo-depts in Maryland? There always seems to be issues down there.

Why was a vol. FF allowed to have his "date" sleep over in the 1st place? Then this date goes and urinates in a persons (doesnt matter vol, career, joe blow) bed? To top it off, the poor SOB was apparently sleeping in the bed at the time. Sounds like a real classy lady! Personally, someone would have been getting their teeth handed to them. However, the career FF is most likely held to a higher standard and had to restrain himself. Although, shes right up there with the stem-wackers that are urinating on the career FF's cars.

Its no shock that the volunteer association is looking into a lawsuit against the career association and/or County.

From reading the article, sounds like a real cluster with a bunch of immature, unprofessional jack-offs that need to grow up or get out!

Hell, if they cant find a solution, get rid of the vols in that station all together. If these guys cant get along and get the job done, then they're not needed in my opinion.

God bless and best of luck to the career guys stationed at this house.
