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

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.

Guess.

Wow! You almost sound like you have a clue.

Or stop working on whatever other venture they may pursue

Buh bye

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!

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.

"Buckwheat"

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...

Total lack of understanding of life (especially the life of a public
servant). Sad, really sad.
