Wanna see your tax dollars at work?
Everyday there's an accident where an EMT risks his or her life in order to save another. Everyday there's a man or woman whos job it is to rush into a burning building that others are rushing out of. What do you do for a living? How many lives have you changed? What these guys do on their free time, which here in Nashville is minimal, is most likely their way of coping with the disasters and horrors they see every day. Remember, these are the guys that have to patch together car wreck victims before an emergency room doctor ever sees them. Don't disrespect your emergency responders. There'll be one there for you when you need it... even if they have to stop working on their boat to help you. "Bucky" wrote in message m... "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ...

To give you an idea of how difficult a job it is, I did my ProCraft locator install in the back alley behind the firehouse while on duty............ Your tax dollars at work. Sad, really sad Hey "Bucky", I work a 24 hour shift, with our department responding to over 1,500 calls per year, combined EMS, Fire and Haz Mat. From 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 the following morning, I'm there, ready to respond to any and all emergencies that crop up daily. From 7:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., we have assigned duties, which include semi-annual fire/safety inspections of 786 businesses, we operate public safety programs for all the schools in the area, as well as the nursing homes, day care centers and any other business that wishes their employees to be better prepared and educated. Annually we also have to pressure test several miles of fire hose, pressure test every single hydrant in the city, perform vehicle and station maintenance. We also have to undergo state mandated monthly training for EMS, Fire and Haz-Mat. All of this gets done during our regular duty day, providing of course that we are not "interrupted" by too many calls for someone that's having a real bad day. After 4:00, we still have to remain at the station, ready to respond for our entire 24 hour shift. Some guys read, some guys watch television, I prefer to do something more constructive with my time. In that case, I chose to do something fishing related, adding a new locator to my boat. The Chief knew about it, as did the mayor and several members of the city council. As long as it doesn't interfere with my duties, and I can drop everything to respond when the alarm comes in, what harm is there? There are times that we run constantly for the entire 24 hour shift, there are times when we barely turn a wheel, but NEVER, NOT ONCE has my personal projects gotten in the way of my duties. So yeah, if I sound a bit miffed, at least I have the decency to use my name, not hide behind the anonimity of a screen name, sniping from the safety of a keyboard. I seriously doubt if you have any clue as to what my job is like, what I've seen and what I've done. If you have a problem with me or any other fire department member doing "other ventures" while on duty at the firehouse, I have one statement for you. Next time your house is smoking or you have unrelenting chest pain, don't bother to call 911! -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

Next time your house is smoking or you have unrelenting chest pain, don't bother to call 911! You should spend more time training, less time on fishing bull****, when on the clock. You never know when it might come in handy when looking for bodies after a fire. You know, like bodies overlooked in a garage or something. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

Hey Wheat, I don't see much wrong with Steve installing a GPS while on
duty..I am sure he works a very long shift and has some down time. What's really sad is that you show up here to criticise... |
