A Comment Worthy Of A Post 10-6-13

Do you realize just what turning the SFD into a volley service would do to the city's economy. Yes it would save money buy not paying for the department to be staffed but did you ever think of the businesses the city would loose. Almost every single business north of the mall has a contract with the city stating that there has to be a paid and staffed fire department within so miles of their business.

That is the biggest like that I have ever seen. You little thugs will do anything to justify your jobs. I say fire every damn one them.

I've got an idea. Produce the contract!!!

That is the biggest "LIE" I have ever seen. Produce the contract.

Why do I get the feeling the contract is in the same place as the Birth Certificate.

look at the ISO rating of SFD verses the vol. departments, Look at the difference in home and business insurance.

I wish the vollies would step up to the plate and take responsibality. Station 1 scratches a good bit. Station 2 vollies shouldnt scratch because of the live ins and Station 16 has a miniamal ammount of vollies that dont do much of anything. With Career Staff looking for better pay, you may have to rely on the vollies.

All this city has to do is get some real leadership in office to recruit and retain volunteers like other real fire departments are doing. Remember Kentland Volunteer Fire Company in PG County Maryland. 100% Volunteer 100% of the Time.

Rick Hoppes has never ever done anything to recruit and retain volunteers for this city to help the tax payers. What has he done instead? Filed for a grant to pay for 12 paid firemen for 2 years and guess what happens after that 2 years? That's right the city tax payers will have to foot that $1.4 Million grant. Where are we going to get that money from. That additional increase in paid firemen brings the total 75 paid firemen in the city. Way more paid firemen than police officers who are more needed. Jim Ireton and Jake Day should have asked for Rick Hoppes' resignation after that criminal act. Yes stealing from tax payers in criminal and the voters need to remember that during this upcoming election.

I am the one who posted this yesterday. I have no reason to lie as u have absolutely no connection with the SFD. I live in and belong to a neighboring FD, I am as well a full time paramedic for another neighboring FD.

Target, Buffilo Wild Wings, Home Depot, Gander Mountain all have contracts with the city. It has nothing to do with how much money they make but with how much insurance they have to pay. If you don't believe me then you should actually look into it, you'll find that I'm telling the truth.

I can assure you that there are no contracts with anyone or any business in Salisbury. If there was I would know. There is a set response for every type of call received and nobody gets special treatment. Taxpayers pay their taxes and the city provides fire, EMS and Police protection plain and simple with "NO CONTRACTS". I'm not sure why you perceive this as fact but your dead wrong.
