Check Out The Fire Department Threats Again Ladies & Gentlemen

Joe said, "Hit them where it hurts the most and when they straighten things out over there again, then start supporting them. In the mean time, let them prove to you they have changed. If they don't take classes and stay in denial, well, throw those envelopes away until you're satisfied."

Go ahead, stop donating. If I don't have the equipment to do the job, then I won't be able to put your fire out or cut you out of your car. Simple enough! We could always raise the taxes some more to get the required funds.

Now they want to threaten ALL of you too! These guys will stop at nothing. IDIOTS!

No threat here Idiot! Just a simple equasion....you can't build a house with out a hammer and nails. Besides, I was just making a point. The fire service would adapt and overcome just like it always has in the face of adversity.

WTF would YOU know about adversity with a new $10,000,000.00 Fire Station?

It was a clear and blatent threat to ALL taxpayers, twist it all you want. It's killing some of you to have to deal with facts and your own words and then some Idiot comes through with damage control and denies what was stated.

When they ask for donations Folks, tell them where to shove it. Until they get their own Mike Lewis in the Salisbury Fire Department, screw them.

Accountability, right Louise Smith?

Oh kiss my ASS, Idiot!

Sorry Folks but can you believe the above comment?

There isn't a single MAN in the entire State that could beat out Mike Lewis and that threat has to be one of the dumbest attacks to distance me from Mike Lewis that I have ever seen.

Give it a rest Chiefy! How was New Orleans, by the way? There was a Chiefy Convention there last week Folks.

Last time I checked, I didn't ask for a $10,000,000 fire house. Yea! Screw the fire dept! After all, all of those volunteers give up their precious time for all the personal gains they receive, right?????? Oh wait, we hardly get anything in return except the repetative bashing from some moron blogger who obviously has too much time and money.

BEER IN MINNESOTA FIRE STATION GETS APPROVAL
Thursday, October 18, 2007

New Ulm’s volunteer firefighters now can kick back and pop the top on a brewsky after a fire call or other related functions inside Fire Station buildings as a result of City Council action Tuesday.

The New Ulm Fire Department’s request was approved on a 4-1 vote, with Councilor Sharon Weinkauf voting no. The affirmative vote also overrode concerns raised by Assistant City Attorney Roger Hippert who said allowing the firefighters to drink alcoholic beverages essentially on the job raised "some serious concerns about liability."

Hippert quoted from a League of Minnesota Cities publication, which listed a number of issues involved in allowing drinking in the fire station.

"I think there are some legitimate causes for concern like [operating equipment] while impaired and who is going to determine when a firefighter is impaired," Hippert said.

"The official stance of the department is that the individual is the best judge of when you’re obviously intoxicated," said Scott Windschitl, president of the New Ulm Fire Department Relief Association.

In introducing the agenda item, Council President Dan Beranek said the issue could be argued both ways but, in the end, "I feel these [firefighters] who put themselves at risk in fighting fires are responsible enough to know when they’ve had too much. To me, the pluses outweigh the minuses."

Sounds like Hebron to me.

Out of curiosity how does the Wicomico County-Salisbury fire dept organization tree work? We keep hearing all these job titles on your website, but have little knowledge what duties or level of real authority they relate to.

Minnesotians judge distance by how many beers it takes to get there!

Drinking is a major part of life in Minnesota, and really there are no turns in the roads to negotiate and not many people live there, so the chances of hurting anyone are slim to none.

Mike Lewis lose his job due to comments on a blog, give me a break. Lay off the sauce.

Who's going to do a better job than he has in less than a year? He won by a landslide and we have him for keeps I hope.

His officers and his community supports Mike "ALL THE WAY."

Yea...there's no way this blog damages Mike Lewis. When you factor in the number of votes he won by and the paltry few who come here, even if they did vote against him we'd still be looking at less than 10 votes lost. No big deal.

Go ahead and take your hostellities out on the volunteer division of the Salisbury Fire Dept. That will show us won't it, that is the only way we get income to pay the bills and help the city buy the equipment we need to save your ass when it is in a jam. Joe you are starting to piss some of us off that are usually not political, after the 115 years my family has put in the vol. division we don't ask for a thank you, but you don't have to s22it on us.

By the way I forgot to sign my last comment. Wagonmaster @ SFD VOL. division.

you know i have to agree with wagonmaster we the vollies, do it 24/7 we can be called out at a moments notice. we drop everything we are doing and get to those engines to save people like you. It was not long ago that I saw a decal the said what we are all about. yeah you think we may be rednecks or whatever else you want to call us but you have to agree that if you or anybody you know need the fire deparment we would be right there to save you and yours. I am a proud vollie and I hold that fact close to my heart. cause you now have to think how many enemies have you made by this blog site?? what you dont think you dont have, that's funny. But just remember that every fire fighter across the world is in one family and we bleed the same color you do and we breath the same air, so why do you want to take some aggression out on us? there is alot of other idiots out there that need that more than we do. sincerly hell's fire

joe albero said...

hell's fire,

That is, if your family is all white. That's my issue. IF you or any one of you use the "N" Word, I DON'T LIKE YOU. I have NO respect for YOU. That being said, how dare you dislike me because I not only spread the truth, how dare you disrespect me for my feelings between blacks & white!

You people are on the defense here because many of you do in fact use the "N" Word and you can't handle a guy like me that will in fact confront you and tell you it's not right.

If you or any one of your co workers DON'T use that word, then you should show ME the respect I deserve for standing up against so many of you because I've been told differently. NONE of you are obviously man enough to respect that, therefore none of you were my friends anyway. MY friends wouldn't treat Lorenzo Cropper that way or any other black person.

I can't wait to see your response to this comment.
