Since Ocean City paid firemen got busted for sleeping through calls they are losing their 24/72hr shifts. This is exactly what should happen in Salisbury. It's time to do away with the 24 hour shifts and go back to the 8 hour rotating shifts like they used to do. No one on the city clock should get paid to sleep.

for your information - they did 10's and 14's at 16, never 8's
Almost had it all correct.
24 hour shifts should have never been allowed in the first place. I have heard these employees brag about how good they have it. Then I have also heard the complaints about how tired they are because they have not slept in two days. Do we really them working with no sleep on regular basis. Seems like OSHA should have a say.
There is another side to this tale. Question the other side, those you name or those in charge and report back your "I heard".
Was an ambulance dispatched or is is the chest pain patient still waiting? Do the two you mention work 365 nights a year or perhaps just a few nights per week/month? Where ban the "Delta" info be found?
Often some details are incorrect when reported by just one person's assessment.
You really need to get a LIFE.
I don't understand why they would need an engine on a medical call .
@834 THANK YOU!
ppl just cant wait to complain about things they have no idea about...
they need an engine on an ambulance all to run up the amount of calls the city has in a year to justify why they need more money from the county. Just like they had engines run with ambulances for any snow on the ground but county departments do not.
In the Marine Corps I got paid to sleep every day from one to as many hours as I needed, depending on circumstances. Some days I didn't even get the one hour, but that's how it goes.
Scanner junkies. No life other than living off the misery of others.
I agree!!!
That the Fire Dept. have to respond is a joke!!!
The taxpayers are being ripped off big time.
The response is not for all Delta level calls. There is a standard list of Delta level calls that the department responds on. When we went on Delta level calls there were some that complained that the engine went on too many calls. Now we are back to responding on the national standard and that is not enough? No winning with you all.
Joe - you're at it again !! Be thankful someone is there when needed. Quit jamming on Salisbury Fire Department all the time and grow up. Everyone fussing has no idea what goes on or how hard things can get for the crews. Why not say thank you once and awhile?
Lynn, It never ceases to amaze me how, (oh let's say) ridiculous people like you are.
You see Lynn, I didn't write the letter. I've also never commented on this article.
Thank You.
Where in the world has this author been? People with State funded positions sleep on the job all the time. Snoring was a DAILY occurrence in the state library system. They go to work and literally have nothing to do but surf the internet, watch movies, build models, hack each other's computers while the administration does the same or is busy pursuing their own personal business or hobbies. They literally get paid for nothing! Full time positions with part time 5 hour a day work for politicians family members. Employee expense accounts for dinner and drinks, outright theft in Travel reimbursements. That's your tax money at work baby and it equals Millions of hard earned tax dollars given to thieves that are allowed to justify their own existence with zero oversight.
Wow I would love to how you people would react to fire departments in DC/metro area.
