ReplyDeleteOver an hour and the fire still hasn't been put out. If Jay Jester would STHU the fire may go out. All he is doing is running his mouth as fast as he can and fanning the flames causing it to burn more. He must be talking out of his butt again because that is nothing but @$$ Gas fueling those flames.
ReplyDeleteJay Jester is the clown that is a volunteer in Ocean City and hates all the paid firefighter paramedics and he is a paid firefighter in Salisbury and hates all the volunteers in Salisbury. Ironically he isn't smart enough to become a paramedic.
Nearly 2 hours and that fire on Church and Truitt Streets is still burning. What a shame to have a paid fire and EMS crew in Salisbury and they can not keep houses and buildings from burning to the ground.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember that garage fire behind Station 16 that burnt to the ground while the paid crews were in the station and awake.
Chief Hoppes don't you ever try to keep stats on the volunteers again. It's your paid firemen that can't keep buildings from burning down.
Some buildings are to far gone to enter and risk the lose of life to save nothing.

ReplyDeleteThere are at least 20 pieces of fire equipment on the fireground and it is still burning.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that song by Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi (They burned paradise and put up a parking lot).
Church and truitt is far from paradise!!!!
DeleteI was just wonder if Darrin Scott had to pass a written test to get promoted to Deputy Chief or was it the same good ole boy network where Hoppes just gave him the position. You know sorta like all the times that Hoppes didn't have to take a written test to get promoted, but most people around him had to pass one.
ReplyDeleteThe Salisbury Fire Department hasn't met a parking lot they didn't like yet.
ReplyDeleteYou know what is Ironic about this little house fire in Salisbury is the fact that the SFD refusing to repond out in the county to places such as the Farmers Bank of Willards fire in Willards, but they are very quick to call the county volunteers when they can't handle the calls themselves. So much for needing those paid firemen in your city. Proves that if you invested in a great recruitment and retention program in Salisbury you wouldn't need all the paid firefighters. That's what happens when you have low-quality leadership such as Darrin Scott, John Tull and you guessed it, Rick Hoppes. Has he retired yet?
ReplyDeleteSFD never refused to respond to Williards. They were never dispatched there
DeleteYou have a $ multimillion dollar brick palace built on Naylor Street for a paid duty crew who is only there from 8am - 5pm, Monday - Friday.
ReplyDeleteMakes perfectly good sense to me. A steel stand garage would have worked out perfectly for housing a fire truck and an ambulance and they wasted millions on that brick palace for NOTHING!! Stupid elected leaders you have elected in that bankrupt city.
I thought all the fire departments in Salisbury had paid firement 24/7 is that not the case?
ReplyDeleteStation 16 has 24 hour career staffing. Stations 1 and 2 have daytime career staffing Monday to Friday wiltj volunteers running calls nights and weekends.
DeleteDeputy Chief Scott clear the scene en route to PRMC. I guess they sent some firemen to the scene without making a report.
ReplyDeleteCommand advised central to release the standby crews that have been standing by for Salisbury.
ReplyDeleteNow mind you they placed the situation under control, that just means that the "fire" is under control. Standby crews are released and mutual aid companies are being sent home. They are still mopping up and the Salisbury equipment isn't back in service yet. The men of the Salisbury Fire Department are exhausted and some of the volunteers have to get ready for work in a short period of time. All the apparatus has to be fueled and topped off. All the water tanks have to be topped off. When they get back to the stations all the gear, ladders and equipment used as well as the apparatus has to be cleaned and ready for service. The men of the Salisbury Fire Department are exhausted and there is no apparatus ready for the next call if a fire comes in. With that said if there is another major fire in Salisbury in the next few minutes there will be a very strong possibility that someone may die. They are not up to speed and they are not up to par.
What I am trying to say is this is piss poor leadership on the part of the Salisbury Fire Department Leadership. Especially those at the scene, Scott, Donaway, Jester, and Lee Smith. That is on Cluster F. going on tonight in typical fashion for the Bad Boys of Metro.
Your a special kind of arm chair warrior. Did you go uptown and help put the rigs back I service? You too can opt to be a volunteer and not just a keypad King.

No that is not the case and never has been. However that is exactly what Hoppes, Tull, Scott and the rest of the anti-volunteer crowd are pushing for. They are running the volunteers out and the plan is to get Jake Day to replace them with paid firemen.
Jake Day has been meeting with Hoppes about this and gave Hoppes the green light.

There is no such thing as a rekindle. The paid fireman did a poor job of putting the fire out in the first place. They didn't put it out like they should have. The Captain, Assistant Chief and Deputy Chief living in Delmar Delaware did a horrible job of fight fire like they are paid to do. Their leadership skills are lacking. Uneducated fools.
So it's no fault of the volunteers that were there, that train to the same standards and have parity with your career firemen?

I know the person that lives there, and I commend the fire departments that participated. they did a great job with what they were facing, and those of you that were not involved cannot pass judgement on how long it took to put the fire out. You do not understand what was happening. If you are so determined to pass judgement on their actions, then PLEASE join the local fire department, go through the training and actively participate in multiple fires before passing any judgement. The men and women that left their comfortable beds at that time of night, and go to work the next day, did so to try to help someone they didn't know, with something that didn't directly affect them. so please stop passing judgement on a situation until you know all of the facts. thank you to all of those that were there or covering for those that were there. We appreciate your efforts. I thank GOD there are people out there willing and able to answer that call, no matter the time of day or night, no matter the physical toll it costs them. I am glad you are here for us. Let's just try to remember that they do this because they can and because they are willing to go through whatever it takes to help strangers. Stop attacking them when you slept through the night and all you had to deal with this morning is a few sirens and maybe some curiosity. You get to go home to your clean and intact home today - my friend is instantly homeless and has lost everything from his toothbrush to many family photos and heirlooms.

ReplyDeleteThe problem has nothing to do with paid/volunteer, the problem is people playing Fireman that have no business being Firemen. Once upon a time when being a Fireman was lower than garbage man the ranks were filled with the Irish and other men willing to get dirty and actually put fires out. Now since the Fire Department is cool and employees think it's all about picking up women, discounts and looking cool the fires don't go out and the educated employees with no common sense and knowledge of the trades use safety and education to justify standing in the yard and letting buildings burn. How do you get your picture taken for Facebook fame and glory if your inside doing your job, you got to look good to be a hero.
ReplyDeleteOMG that is so true about Gladwell. My question is this: does SFD pay for a booster seat for Gladwell to see over the dash of the fire engine? I saw him shopping for new clothes for himself in Baby Gap and wondered if that is where he bought is turnout gear.

OMG I heard that loudmouth barking orders last night overstepping his boundaries with command. Then he kept begging Deputy Chief 1 if he could have "C" Charlie Sector so he could bark orders. I've come to the conclusion that Jay Jester is not a real firefighter and that he would rather just stand outside and be seen and to hear himself talk. That clown is a waste of good oxygen and whoever hired him in Salisbury needs his head examined. Whoever promoted him in Salisbury needs their head examined. They are some dangerous people and they will get someone hurt in the future.

6:26pm isn't Jay Jester that say fireman that got arrested for DUI after leaving a firemans function a while back?

If you were really concerned about your friends home you too would want to know why the paid fire crew didn't have enough sense to put the fire out. Rarely ever does a fire that starts on the outside burn a house down. You need to rethink your words before you get on here bashing the wrong people. You disgust me!
Yet you are bashing her. Just because a fire starts outside doesn't mean it can't get into the walls of a structure and burn down. Was it a balloon structure?? That would make it spread quicker ( look up what that means). And it had a head start as fire was thru the roof on arrival.
DeleteJay Jester was talking so much he was trying to talk the fire out. Jay Jester should be disciplined for breaking the rank of command numerous times. Donaway was the incident commander and Jester proved that he doesn't respect who his supervisor is. Fire him is what I would suggest. During an incident like this call, the ICS requires only one person should be on the channel barking orders. Not an insubordinate like Jay Jester. Jester went so far out of command that if he doesn't get reprimanded it shows how screwed up the Salisbury Fire Department is.
ReplyDeleteAugust 10, 2016 at 8:59 AM that is a hillarious and brilliant comment.
