Former Salisbury Fire Chief See Suspended From The Delmar Fire Department

Former Salisbury Fire Chief David See has been suspended from the Delmar Fire Department for violations of protocol.

Before Chief See retired from the Salisbury Fire Department, several Firefighters confronted David See about his facial hair. According to protocol, you cannot have such hair as it interferes with oxygen masks as well as a hazard to fire conditions. Clearly I'm not a Firefighter, so we can expect to get the actual details from a Firefighter who can spell this out more clearly.

Nevertheless, it's been reported that David See was sent a letter asking him to remove the facial hair from the Delmar Fire Department and as it was stated to me, he's so arrogant he simply refuses to do it, therefore he was suspended.

It has also been reported that there are now less than a hand full of Volunteers left at Station 16. I have been stating this for years Folks, they relocate, the Volunteers will not follow and I was right. While See & Gordy became VERY upset at me for making that statement twice on PAC 14, what say you now Boys? There are currently less than a hand full of active Volunteers at Station 16 and anyone trying to come on here and state I'm wrong is a liar. There may be names on the roster but there are less than 5 active Volunteers.

Oh, we're nowhere near done with this story. Sit tight Folks, it's about to get a whole lot better!!!! You know those new Fire Trucks that were ordered by the Boys with Big Toys. Well, there were more than SIXTY trips made to the manufacture to inspect each unit. Mind you, that could mean only 6 trips with 10 people at a time but I'm told that's NOT how it happened. I did confirm that the number of trips is absolutely accurate. This does NOT include ALL of the overtime pay for Firefighters having to cover those 60 trips. MORE information you won't read in the Daily Times.

So why didn't YOU know about it. Because See & Gordy HID it into the cost of the purchase and piggybacked the purchase along with other orders so o one would know. Oh wait, it gets better! Yesterday, Comegys didn't want a budget amendment so THIS information wouldn't be made public and or open to public discussion! It failed, you now know about it and I would suggest each and every one of you taxpayers show up at the next City Council Meeting and let him have it.

It has also been reported that the Career Firefighters are livid right now because there's all this talk about layoffs and salary cuts, yet See & Gordy were able to get all these multi million dollars worth of equipment, yet the City can't afford to man it. Oh, now get this! Would you believe that Gordy wants to try to come to the City Council and propose that Station 16 can be run from 5:00 PM at night to 7:00 AM seven days a week by Volunteers. That's right Folks, Gordy and Comegys WILL one way or another do ANYTHING to prove they don't have to provide those 24 hours on and 72 hours off. Comegys & Gordy will do anything to change these shifts and they're scheming any which way but loose to get her done. I don't know about you Folks but there's just no way the Volunteers, (with all due respect) can run Fire & Ems each and every evening.

In closing, there were 8 Firefighters at Chief See's Retirement Party. Three Fire Departments were pressured into putting up $2,700.00 EACH to pay for this party and then Gordy told them they had to pay $38.00 per person to attend. Hence only 8 Firefighters being deeply persuaded into giving up money they had raised through fundraising or some other source to pay for someone most Volunteers couldn't stand in the first place. Sounds like another fishing trip to me. He wasn't welcome in Salisbury and now he's not welcome in Delmar. Karma is a bitch, isn't it. As for Bill Gordy, I also hear his time will be short lived in Salisbury as well. I'm told he'll stick around until a new Fire Chief is on board and then he's out of here. He's already purchased property down south and he plans on going just as soon as he can. I heard he traded the Exxon in Cambridge for property down south.

Make sure you attend the next Council Meeting and challenge these Folks running the Fire Department. The Mayor will face more budget cuts, that's a guarantee. Sooner or later they'll be forced to start laying people off, just like real business owners in the real world. Soon enough taxpayers will place enough pressure on our Elected Officials to do something, yet Gordy is still fighting for a new Fire Boat. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You know that new Hazmat Trailer. Well, they're ordering a new rig to pull it. OK, you may have known that, yet you can't afford it. However, Gordy is trying to pull ANOTHER fast one. He wants another trailer for another emergency application and when they were going to decide on the lettering, Gordy told them he wanted Hazmat on the rig. Everyone said, NO, we shouldn't have ANY lettering on it so we can use it for the other emergency trailer. Gordy replied, don't worry about it. I'm going to order another rig for that trailer too.

See you at the next Council Meeting Folks.
