Wayne Barrall

Thursday's visit to the Sheriff's Department.
Wayne Barrall after he aproaches me with axe in hand.


Wayne rolls up fire hose after fire was put out.


The Wayne Barrall saga continues. After having major issues with Firefighter Wayne Barrall a couple of years ago, my Wife and I truly thought we had resolved Wayne's issues with us as we shook hands and Wayne swore he'd never go back to that place that got him in trouble to start with, I/We were wrong.
As many of you know, (and we have now learned) Wayne has a temper problem. He tends to like to bully people, UNTIL he is bullied back. It takes a bit but when Wayne learns someone is not going to back down, he becomes one of those apologetic people who acts really sorry for what they did. You know the "Eddie Haskel" kind of guy from Leave It To Beaver.
A very good friend of mine had applied 3 1/2 months ago to the Delmar Fire Department as a Volunteer. Soon after he had applied he sent me a couple of pictures of a crime scene, (I believe) and wanted me to credit his images, in which we did. Once Wayne Barrall saw these images and his name on Salisbury News, Wayne freaked out. He contacted this friend of mine and told him, (more or less) he better choose who he wants to work with, the cancer of society Joe Albero or Wayne Barrall. He went on to say he would never use his images again if he ever sent anything more to Joe Albero.
OK, while this was pretty stupid, I asked my friend, what does Wayne pay you? He replied, NOTHING! I suggested, (seriously) that he simply respond with a kind message that you have received his message and thank you for your concerns. Considering this friend was trying to get on board with the Delmar Fire Department, I thought it best he keep cool about it and move on.
Low and behold, Wayne starts writing this friend back telling him that if he continued to work with Joe Albero and stay associated with me, his chances of getting involved with the Delmar Fire Department would, (more or less) become non existent.
When I personally saw these letters I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. My first thought was, man, this guy has one hell of a discrimination lawsuit not only against the Fire Department, he has one hell of a case against Wayne Barrall. Then I started thinking, just what in the hell had I done to Wayne to get him to stab me in the back like that, especially after we had Wayne by the ba((s in Court and he begged to resolve the case in a recess. Because my Wife and I felt he was so sincere, we chose to come to a settlement and stay on a friendly basis, or so we thought.
After seeing these letters several weeks ago and being in somewhat shock, two days later I got a desperate phone call from Wayne Barrall saying the roof was about to cave in on the Delmar Fire Department, could I come up there with my snow blower and help them clear the snow off the roof. As I stated in a Post last week, the first thing that came to my mind was, Kiss My A$$. Not only had this man Wayne Barrell stabbed me in the back, he was holding my friend hostage with his application and proving the Good Old Boy Network was still alive and well in Delmar.
However, as I had stated to you last week, I put those thoughts aside for the better good of the Fire Department and I went up there and fulfilled their request. When the letters continued to my friend from Wayne I made contact with a former Chief of the Delmar Fire Department and expressed my concern over the possibility of a discrimination lawsuit, based on Wayne's threats.
While I expected them to follow up on the information I provide, as well as my offer to show them the letters so they could see I was in fact telling the truth, the Delmar Fire Department chose not to look at the letters and instead spoke to Wayne. Wayne told them it wasn't true and they believed him. Mind you, I have these letters, they could have read them and they chose to believe Wayne once again. Can you say, Good Old Boys. I should add, the person I was talking to said that they were the person who handled applications and was NOT familiar with this particular applicant. Funny, my friend has been calling every single week to see if there's been an update and has YET to get a call back after 3+ months. Makes you wonder why this person never received his application, eh? My friend of course became concerned after the first 30 days because he was told it would be complete within 30 days.
Very soon after this I received a phone call from Wayne Barrall demanding that I never make contact with the Fire Chief again. I simply told Wayne that I was not a 14 year old wanna be Firefighter that he could bully around, I'm a grown man who will not be told what to do. I simply hung up the phone on Wayne.
Moving forward to yesterday. I received a text message there was a barn fire at my neighbors farm so I immediately went over there to see if I could help them move things or whatever they needed. When I arrived there were no Firefighters there and they were pulling equipment away from the barn. I took some early pictures and once the Fire Departments started arriving I stepped back away from the fire and away from any one's path to the fire. That's when Wayne came around the corner and started towards the fire. He then stopped, went well out of his way, turned around and demanded, (while yelling and axe in hand) you better not take any damn pictures of me Albero. I immediate replied, you better get out of my face Wayne. He continued to demand I not take any pictures and I told him to shut up and get out of my face. I'm sure the rest of the Firefighters on the scene were shocked that someone would stand up to a man yelling at me with an axe in his hand but everyone stayed away from what was going on as they, (professionals) had a job to do and they got it done.
Wayne finally turned around and went to the Chief and demanded I be removed from the scene. The Chief told me to leave and I said, I'm NOT in any one's way. He then said, look Joe, I don't want to have problems with you, can you just not take any pictures of Wayne. I replied, he takes pictures of me, he's at a fire scene, with all due respect I'll take any pictures I want of Wayne or anyone else for that matter. He again, (very politely this time) asked if I'd work with him so they could get their job done and I agreed to move away from where I was standing.
Mind you Folks, where I was standing I was in no ones way. When they asked me to move to another spot, I was then right in the middle of everything. That's when I chose to simply leave. The fire was very small and with the crews they had there, I knew nothing was going to spread and further.
For those of you wondering what the first picture is all about. Another friend of mine happened to be at the Sheriff's Department and saw Wayne Barrall pull in and go inside yesterday. I then received a phone call after the fire scene from the Sheriff's Department stating they had just had a visit from Wayne Barrell asking if they could talk to me about calling the Fire Chief and so forth. I listened to what they had to say and when it was my turn I then explained just how Wayne had treated me, (with axe in hand) at the fire scene, soon after his meeting at the Sheriff's Department.
You see Folks, Wayne Barrall is nothing short of a bully. However, just like any other bully, if you stand your ground, two things will happen. One, they'll become physical or two they'll back down. As an adult, it would be extremely stupid for any one of these bully's to get physical as they will certainly find themselves behind a jail cell, and for what? To prove you're the tougher guy!
I have had enough experience with Wayne Barrall to know the man needs anger management help. The man may also need to get slapped with a lawsuit and feel the pain for his actions. He may even need to be charged criminally with his threats, something I am seriously considering since he continues to prove he's a loose cannon.
Some have said there are two sides to every story. Well, you have mine. I never once said a single word to Wayne yesterday to bring him towards me or to boil. I was standing well out of every one's way when Wayne went out of his way to start his threats. I provoked nothing. The Delmar Fire Department needs to truly reassess their situation with Wayne Barrell. The fact that the man takes pictures of everyone else for a living and then tries to demand other people cannot take Wayne's photo is beyond me. To be quite honest with you, I had no real interest in taking Wayne's picture anyway. I mean, does this guy think he's a celebrity that everyone wants to see in print? I think not.

Who cares about the spelling, we ALL know exactly who Joe is talking about.
Delmar FD has been a good ole boys network for a long time. I must say though, it was a LOT friendlier and more community oriented before Joe Morris, Sr. passed away.
If Joe could see what has happened within this FD now, he would be SO pizzed off!
They now come across as "we don't care about anyone who isn't one of US".
That is so sad!
The ones with attitudes like this and like Wayne need to go or Delmar FD will end up finding themselves with NO support from the rest of the community.
Who wants to support this kind of behavior and attitude?
I certainly don't!

Joe, Just be careful. With someone like that you just never know if he will blow his lid or not. Especially if he is on disability and then loses that because of pictures. I'm not saying back down from him at all. I just want you and your family to be safe. Unfortunately I've seen and had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with a-holes like this before. He is a loose cannon. Just keep your safety in mind if he is ever around you. People like that will come up from behind you and attack you because that's how cowards are. If you bring him up on charges, you have plenty of witnesses that will back you up.

Two things. there was a lot of rumor about Waynes disability, and this would affect that, any truth? Hit him where it really hurts! 2nd, the fire department CANNOT deny membership to a person without a very defined reason (criminal), this is an open and shut lawsuit. Advise your friend to contact the ACLU for FREE representation, bet thier butts will slam shut then. He will not want to join after that, but they will stop this practice, and, pay dearly for thier mistake.

I agree with 10:39. Due to a recent injure a loved one was put out of work, it has been nothing but a pain in the butt since. Trying to just get a comp check since the injury has been harder than pulling teeth from an awake lion! How is it there are people sitting across the street taking pictures and following us around every where, but this guy is out on the scene (obviously moving around fairly well) and not one person is calling his FRAUD???

The system is seriously screwed up! I hope he is enjoying his check every month while the truly injured and uncapable are receiving the harassment that people like him cause...jerk!

Seems like he is a liability issue for the department. If he has psychological issues he should not be a responder. What if he snaps at a scene over someone taking his picture and causes a fellow member to be injured? Or if he decides the victims were in some way violating his rights and he goes back for revenge. I don't know, just seems there is a lot wrong with having an emotionally unstable person going into innocent persons homes. This makes me question the integrity of the department as a whole. After all you are the company you keep.

Joe,
One year ago he slipped at a pool in Ocean City and he thought he would never walk again. His previous history with back problems were well known. Do your homework and look into his "DISABILITY". I bet you he's doing something he's not supposed to be and getting paid handsomely.

I read this story and for what reason I don't know I'm not a fire fighter or deal with Delmar Fire Department, but after reading it my question is this: Why not post the letters up? Not saying you don't have them but there is no evidence to prove you do. I've got to say like someone mentioned above...you do alot of patting yourself on the back when you do something for some one. People that do things for others don't broadcast it to thousands of people every chance they get. Makes what you have done look like you only did it to get attention and not so much for the person out of the kindness of your heart. I hope Joe that you are as good as a person as you claim to be. Picking public fights with people though is a good first impression. By the way I saw a picture of your wife on here, and she is a hottie!

Yes this happened and he cried back injury and disability and the paramedics with Ocean City EMS called the Maryland State Police helicopter to transport him to the hospital. He wasn't even injured but he loved the attention. What a waste of money this mooch on society is costing tax payers.

To those who think that the ACLU is free...think again. I filed a discrimination lawsuit against a local company and the ACLU represented me. When I won the case and received settlement, the check from the business was sent to the ACLU and they deducted their fee (charging by the hour like attorneys, just not as much per hour). Anyway, they got a hefty chunk of change and I got the rest.

10:49 He was there initially to help out his neighbor until the fire department could get there. Then he clearly states that he stepped back and let them take control. If there was a fire on my property, my neighbors would be there. Until Wayne opened his big stupid mouth, there wasn't a problem with Joe being there. Do you think that if 16 or 47 was there, he would have behaved in that manner? Hell no. He's pissed off at Joe and threatened him. We all can agree to disagree, but to threaten someone with an axe in your hand is something else. I believe it is due to a disability claim. He doesn't want pics taken of him because he knows that sooner or later he's going to get busted. He should be removed as a member of the Fire Department.

From what it sounds like all the fire departments are going to hell in a hand basket. Seems like the good ole boy system is alive and well within all the fire departments. Look at the different types of corruption that have been posted on this blog over the past few years. Paying to much for things, buying what is not needed, other departments that get on here to bash a neighboring department, people not having the correct license, people flying off the handle and acting like jerks and the latest is a Fire chief being charged with assault. WHAT IS GOING ON!
When we all were growing up firemen were our heros someone to look up to someone we learned from. They used to set a good example of things. Not anymore, where did it all go wrong? Could it just be the "good ole boys" who wont punish those that are wrong because their friends might be hurt. WISE UP PEOPLE AND DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE DEPARTMENTS NOT just your friends. Peoples lives depend on you act like you have some sense.

I don't much care about the Wayne vs. Joe story, but I do have a question for Joe . . .

Why the belt around you connected to the blower while you are on the roof? Seems that if you slipped off the edge, it wouldn't save you but you'd pull the blower off with you. And if the blower went off first, well that wouldn't be good either. I wasn't' there so don't know the roof pitch, etc. but that photo begs the question.

How could you even sue a volunteer fire department for excluding someone? If you don't lose any monetary sum by being excluded, I find it hard to believe that a judge and jury would award you any monetary sum. Seriously, whats your case? Do you try to argue that you are so permanently emotionally and mentally scarred for life all because the Delmar FD didn't let you in that you deserve a few million dollars?

Wayne shows up to fires and wants full access to take pictures. For once somebody is there to take a picture of him and he gets upset. What if all the fire companies told him to stay back 500 ft by law or have him removed ? Seems really strange that a photographer cant play by the rules he sets. Must be something fishy with him doing firefighting work.

I worked construction for years until one day I was hurt on the job. The company I worked for paid their way out of their wrong doing so here I set disabled without a check. I would got back to construction in a second but I can't do the job because my body will not let me. I now work as a night watchman because of my back/leg injury. If anyone is disabled it should be me but no Wayne gets his check every month while I struggle to put food on my table. I earned $ 28 an hour in construction now I earn $ 10.

And here's the 411 people, most of your volunteers have issues just like this guy. That is why they are not professional firemen. Anybody who lives in a volunteer area should demand stricter policies on who can and can't volunteer. This guy is a joke and has no guts. If you people only knew the half of the stuff that goes on.

Hi Joe

Maybe you will post this, maybe not. I just want to try to clear up one small thing. Your "Friend" as you put it, while he may have put in an application, he was told he could either take pictures for you or fithp, if he is the person that I recal talking to wayne about, has no business in a fire department or shotting pictures at a scene for anyone. I have told wayne many times that no one at fithp should be sending pictures to you or jt. Just because of the PR nightmare that is the contstant bickering between the two of you.

Im pretty sure this is the same person as I only know of one person that was sending to both.

This same person was thrown out of his former department for be caught going in excess of 100MPH to another companys alarm on numerous occasions. However, while he will tell you a completely different story, this was a fact.

As far as stopping someone from getting into the fire department, you have to be voted in there, just like all of the other departments. you can damn well be sure that if someone I dont like is trying to get in, I will voice my opinion about that person, and then let the vote decide.

As far as the axe in his hand, he is a fireman on a fire call, getting out of a engine, he is supposed to have a tool with him, whether it be a haligan or an axe. I do agreee he shouldnt have approached Joe, however, people are making it sound like he grabbed an axe and ran at him, which is not the case.

He clearly doesn't deserve to collect disability if he is able enough to be a volunteer fireman.

I am so tired of people who think they deserve something for nothing. Welfare, WIC, Disability, unemployment....good, hard working people are the ones struggling while other people sit home, drive nice cars, and take advantage of the system. There definitely needs to be some reform!!!

Just because of that does not make you a professional and I am glad for the good ole boy system it has kept my chiefs spot for some time now.

6:34 i completely agree with you. maybe it wasn't completely right for wayne to walk to joe(someone he's had issues with) with an axe but he's a fire fighter. they use them. he wasn't swinging it at you like an animal was he? no. stop playing the victim because you know damn well you are just as much at fault as he is. you irritate as much as you can to get someone going. you just happened to get wayne. and trust me, if i EVER see you, you will be wishing otherwise.

anonymous 8:18, another ball less firefighter hiding behind anonymous. Yeah tough guy, you've really scared me. By the way, I never said a word to Wayne yesterday until he started yelling demands at me. I was nowhere near him or any other firefighter at the time. Like I said, Wayne had to go way out of his way to confront me.

Funny how Wayne got snagged for being an a-hole once again in several different ways and some of you, (probably WB himself) try defending him. Try this out for size. I unconditionally went to the DFD to clear the snow off their roof AFTER Wayne had sent nasty letters to my friend. Wayne called ME two or three days ago demanding I not speak to the Chief ever again, I hung up on him. Wayne went to the Sheriff's Department with his tail between his legs because he knew he was already in trouble and he went to someone he knew would try to settle things between us, UNTIL that person learned what Wayne did to me at the fire yesterday. Then, I was at the fire FIRST and was nowhere near the firefighters or in their way from doing their job and Wayne confronted me.

Wayne screwed up several times, OWN IT!

joe, no offense love your work but both of you need to take a step back on this one, technically law reads you cant take a pic and advertise it without consent of the person you are taking it of Supreme court ruled on this also if asked to leave a fire scene right wrong or in different it must be done so by request or charges can be filed criminally as per annoted code of MD I have never had any beef with neither you or Wayne but someone needs to be the bigger man here and Wayne definetly could use better terminology especially when he is representing Delmar FD

joealbero said...

anonymous 8:31, with all due respect, you are absolutely wrong. If you're a lawyer you should quit your job.

As for the bigger and better man, my Wife and I dropped our case with Wayne Barrall after he assured us he would never harass us again. Wayne flatr out lied to get out of any criminal charges and we have proven twice to be the better people each time.

some of these local fireman have such a puffed up image of themselves. sadly, you make yourselves look worse daily in the public eye by posting your vicious and threatening comments on Joe's blog. if you don't like him or don't agree with his point of view, it's simple...don't log on! the fact that you hate him so much only lends credibility to him. you are, in fact, doing him a favor.

Although you dont have a problem with his DE tags, I do. My parents also live in Delmar DE, but Im in MD. My vehicle is tagged in MD cause thats where I live. My understanding is that you have 30 days after moving to change the tags, so thats what I did......because I am a law-abiding citizen!!! I say Wayne should man-up and change his tags too.

Before you start criticizing the paid guys and making this a paid vs. volunteer I suggest you sign your name and post your credentials. Your claims that "they do the same thing for free" is total bullsh!t. Do the volunteers in Salisbury clean up after themselves? NO! Do the volunteers stay at the station 24 hours a day? NO! Do the Volunteers take ambulance Calls 24 hours a day every day? NO! Do the volunteers take the time to become licensed and certified paramedics? NO! Do the volunteers take hundreds of hours of continuing education to maintain their paramedic certification and skills? NO! Do the volunteers do daily training? NO! Do the volunteers conduct commercial inspections on a daily basis? NO! Do the volunteers conduct home inspections? NO! Do the volunteers take college classes to qualify for promotion? NO! Are the volunteers qualified to become fire officers? NO! Do the volunteers maintain the fire apparatus and the ambulances on a daily basis? NO! Do the volunteers maintain and clean the fire stations on a daily basis? NO! Do the volunteers complete the NFRIS reports after all alarms? NO! Do the volunteers fuel the apparatus after all alarms? NO! Do the volunteers prepare the fire department budget? NO! Do the volunteers have more training, education and certification than the paid guys? NO!

Please don't take this wrong there are some great volunteers and there are some a$$hole paid guys, but there is really no comparison in what they do for compensation and free.

There, to say the volunteers do the same as the paid guys for free it a fallacy and a pipe dream. Wake up Alice you are in Wonderland!

Actually this is far from the truth because it is rare for the "vollies" to take calls any more.

Typical Vollie dispatch:

Central to Station 16 or any Station 16 units responding to the second call acknowledge?

Central Re-alerting Station 16 for the second call in Station 16's first due...

Central to Station 2 or any Station 2 units responding acknowledge?

Central re-alerting Station 2....
Engine 16 is responding with 20_ and 2 to Stations 2's first due...

To everyone reading this blog. This is more than likely Jeremy Gordy, Little Gordo, Acting Lieutenant appointed by daddy. After he reads this he will more than likely call Joe make excuses and be in denial. This is typical of his poor grammatical skills.

dose = does
yea = yes
there = their
taken = taking
vollys = volunteers or vollie for short
ur = your
u = you
Great = great
joe = Joe
wasnt = wasn't
wouldnt = wouldn't
ok = OK
your = you're
dont = don't
No punctuation
Poor sentences and sentence structure.

It is very sad that the boy didn't stay in school and make something out of his life. All the blame can be put on his daddy.

This person is an embarrassment to the Salisbury Fire Department and the good volunteers and career staff.

Isn't it nice to think that the firemen in this city are retards. Well it would be but, then again what kind of college degree do you have? I have one (not for english)and I am a fireman does that make me a retard. 75% of people do not proof read their comments either. Out of a typical college english class only 2% have no errors. But, then again how many college grads become fireman at least they know how to rescue people when it counts.

By the way it is not farmin that could be used for slang to refer to what farmers do it is fireman or to be politicaly correct it is fireperson

I had the misfortune of going to Delmar High School with Wayne Barrall. He was a moron and a failed bully then and it's clearly obvious that he has not changed one bit. I say he is a failed bully because as you pointed out, once you show that you're gonna stand your ground he backs down. Wayne has never been the brightest bulb in the bunch, and it seems he has no problem in pointing that fact out. He has the expressive force of a fence post and the intellect of a month old head of lettuce.I'm surprised he has maintained a position on the Delmar Fire Dept. In my past dealings with this severely intellectually handicapped individual, he has threatened me more times than I can remember and it always gives me a good laugh. Joe, I suggest you let what this moron says simply roll right off your back. He is not worth getting yourself worked up over. He will never raise his hand to you, his bark is far worse than his bite. I'm sure that I'm not the only person that feels this way or knows how Wayne truly is.
