We're currently on the third of five speakers expressing their departments and how they work with Volunteers. For the most part, each speaker mentions safety and most importantly, serving their community. Blah, Blah, Blah! Chief See had his chance to speak as well and I'll touch on that more later.
What I have found interesting so far is Montgomery County. They have a $200,000,000.00, that's right, a two hundred million dollar Fire Department Budget! They have 35 Stations, most of which the Volunteers own. They have 1,061 Paid Firefighters and 1,132 Volunteers. They had some 12,000 calls last year. Not a very good comparison to Ocean City.
There is going to be a "closed work session" tomorrow where everyone will have the opportunity to get their side off their chest. More to come.........

Joe, in referance to Montgomery County, you must have left off a zero on the number of calls they ran. When I stopped being active in the fire service in 2001, we were running over 100,000 calls a year then. Either you misunderstood or the person talking was incorrect.
Montgomery County FY08 Strategic Plan: http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/content/FireRescue/ofc/docs/Fy08StrategicPlan.pdf
100,000 calls for service every year
Closed work session my ass Iam fed up with my gov, screwing with my money behind closed doors.
I'm thinking 120,000 calls for MoCo. Hell, 2 stations can handle 12000 calls.
Why would they invite the fire chief from Salisbury? Didn't he ruin the volunteer service in Salisbury a couple of years ago when he took the promotion? If I remember correctly he took all the power away from the volunteers as well as their money? Didn't he send some of his people to Delagate Norman Conway's wife's place of employment to deliver some of his hate mail and threatening Delagate Conway's position as a volunteer?
Does that moron ever work? I hope he is using his vacation time to offer his "expert opinion" in Ocean City?
