Maybe its the fact that station 16 ran a million dollar peice on a medical assist yesterday. Very bright dont you think Joe. With all the other equipment in house. I know for sure there was another engine in house. Because I saw it there.

Has it got something to do with the all expenses paid $5000 fishing trip a select few of volunteers from station 16 took with your tax dollars?

This statement is correct. The first engine with the paid crew was on a weather related call and couldn't respond at the time to the call for lifting assistance. The call was on Marine Road to respond with the ambulance because the patient supposedly weighed 400 pounds. That's another story because it wasn't serious enough to need a fire truck response. The 400 pound man can still walk to the ambulance. Anyhow the volunteers were alerted to respond on the assist so the new $1.2 million dollar ladder truck responded with a volunteer officer and a couple more volunteers. A $1.2 million dollar ladder truck responding on a call that wasn't even necessary and wasn't even a fire. How can you justify taking the new ladder truck on the call much less any other fire truck or rescue truck. The Salisbury Fire Department has 2 new 4 door heavy duty pick up trucks at Station 16 that they could take on a medical type call. They are both equipped with medical bags and now fire pump is required.

Can you guess who the so called volunteer officer is who made the decision to take that $1.2 million dollar ladder truck to the medical call? Well it is Jeremy Gordy. Ring a bell? That's right Gordo's son. He has been told numerous times to quit taking that $1.2 million ladder truck out every night. Can you imagine the fuel consumption on that vehicle much less the cost of repairing the rear bumper numerous times? Well this guy is not even qualified to be an officer but Daddy Gordo runs the Salisbury Fire Department so he gets to do as he pleases. Gordo Jr. takes the $1.2 million ladder truck out every night he is around and calls it drivers training. They also take the $1.2 million ladder truck out for errands and to get dinner and they aren't even part of the duty crew for the evening.

Mayor Liarton I know you read this blog every day so you better be listening. Gordo and Hoppes need to go. Do your job and do what you were elected to do. Help is on the Way. That help might be for a recall petition.
