smoke detector , replaced battery
all is well , 3 fire trucks .
1 nine volt battery .
5 out of the 13 calls might have needed an engine. 8 are strictly ambulance calls. How many times of these was a fire truck sent?
Where are the real fires to justify the paid fireman? Did we really need to hire those 12 firemen with that free grant money.
Two false automatic alarms at nursing homes. That is something the volunteer firemen can handle. Fine the nursing homes for their false alarms and they might fix their alarm systems.
Love it Joe! Show the idiots why we dont need paid fireman and how our tax dollars are being wasted!
This only proves that the paramedics are overworked and underpaid. The need is for paid paramedics and not paid firemen. Is the fire chief even a paramedic? Does he understand what it takes to run an EMS service?
anonymous 10:25, You must be a self centered paramedic.
What this proves is that there are MORE paid Firefighters than there are Police Officers.
What it proves is that the SPD responds to some 60,000 calls a year while the SFD responds to, (AT THE VERY MOST) 10 fire related calls per year.
What this PROVES is that the Leadership at the SFD has bullshitted the public for many years.
What this means is that the EMS Staff needs to be paid MORE and the SFD needs to eliminate a LOT of jobs and encourage more VOLUNTEERS.
Then again, we're talking about Hoppes and Ireton. They'll probably hire MORE instead, just to prove to the public they can and will do anything they so choose.
Joe I don't see where 10:25 is a self centered paramedic. Just proving a point.
Your comments reflect those of 10:25 and I agree with you.

Only 2 would actually result in an engine response and they would be the 2 false alarms. Most MVC's or car accidents do not require a fire engine response and most police agencies don't want them there because they hinder traffic in both directions and their investigation.
I can tell you the fire engine responses are not needed or required. It's just an opportunity to run the calls up to justify hiring more people.
The more people you have working under you the more salary you can demand.
Rick Hoppes is not qualified to be a fire choef. Homosexual pansy Ireton runs Salisbury like like Obama does the country neither one of them know how to balance a budget and cut wasteful spending. Thank god we have this blog so we as taxpayers keep informed!
joe ablero you have to be the biggest idiot around

Anon 11:35 AM the fire engine that goes on accidents plays several roles while there.
1 They provide a safe scene of operation by placing the fire engine in such a manner to keep on-coming traffic from interfering with the scene which also free's up the investigating police agency from traffic control so that they can devote their attention to accident investigation.
2 They assist the EMS crew in packaging and removing the patients from the vehicle.
3 They are there to control any/all hazards so the EMS crew can work safely while also doing whatever is necessary to protect the victims.
4 When victim are trapped they are there to use the jaws of life to cut the vehicle away from the victim.
5 When a helicopter is necessary to transport the injured to the hospital they provide fire suppression for the landing zone.
There is this thing called liability that comes in to play in either instance when the patient (s) must wait for the fire engine to be called for only after the ambulance arrives. That makes it necessary and shows a common sense and proactive approach to patient/scene safety.
217, you don't need a full sized fire truck for all that. That's why you have a "Traffic" vehicle. Heck, the brush truck could carry the equipment needed for those measly chores.
