BREAKING NEWS: A Viewer Writes......SFD member injured: UPDATE 9-3-17



Joe. That call for trooper 4 is for a firefighter in sleepy hallow. 16-1 backed over their own guy putting down blue reflectors.

SBYNEWS can confirm that there is Fire/EMS activity in the area of the Sleepy Hollow neighborhood.  Trooper 4 did land and is transporting a patient to the hospital. 


UPDATE: The road is still closed off and roped off. The Maryland State Police Lab is now on the scene. 1:10 PM. 

UPDATE #2: We're told the injured person is Sharee Sample Hughes Son. Now get this, a witness saw him sitting on the front bumper as the truck sped up from one reflector to the next. You only need to guess what happened from that point forward.

Why did they need Trooper 4? Sleep Hollow isn't that far from PRMC? Is the guy so badly hurt he needed to go to Baltimore? While I hope the injuries are minor, it is time a serious review is done of the SFD. It is a clown show in more ways than one.

To the Firefighters coming on here telling people to stop being so insensitive in comments, shut the hell up. If you saw the real insensitive comments we've already rejected, (along with your crybaby comments) you'd be amazed.

While everyone is concerned for the individuals well being/condition, it does sound like someone really screwed up here.

I have watched all of you go back and forth for YEARS, volunteers vs paid, acting like a bunch is sissies. Then I watch these very same jackasses posting on Facebook, "brotherhood above all" crap.

I have never seen a more ignorant group of GIRLS in my entire life. By the way, PROFESSIONALS don't have accidents, not like this one anyway. I can't understand for the life of me why you people get paid.

While I pray he is OK at the same time everyone on that truck is an idiot for allowing someone to 'sit' on a bumper of a moving truck. Obviously safety was not a first concern for them it was just a 'fun outing' till someone got hurt. Why are they using a $400,000 truck to check or do reflectors in the first place, this could have been done from one of the city owned assistant chiefs vehicle for a lot less.
Get ready city taxpayers, this is not over by a long shot, this accident is going to cost dearly!

I can't wait to see if this is the "career" staff or "volunteers". The "career" staff always talks about how well trained they are and how much better they are than "volunteers". Demotions and terminations should be forthcoming. There is NO excuse for this. Flat out lack of supervision and leadership. They stopped firefighters from riding on the rear step of engines YEARS ago due to safety even though they had safety bars and harnesses. How can a supervisor allow someone to sit on the bumper while the engine is moving? Wow...just...wow.

I certainly hope that it doesn't but, if this incident results in a fatality, the public doesn't want to hear about how someone "gave their life in the line of duty" or how "brave" the person was.

Joe - you have clearly exposed multiple times the sloppy, unprofessional leadership at the Salisbury Fire Department. This is the result of poor standards and another example of the SFD thinking they are "cool" - riding a bumper - really!!?? Which duty officer was there and allowed that?

This is not an insensitive comment for those of you who are pitching that line, but an observation that when you allow poor leadership and low standards to prevail, accidents are likely to happen. This should be a wake-up call to the leaders of Salisbury, but sadly, I think they are too arrogant or too dumb to realize the problem they are enabling.

You don't ride on the front bumper of a moving vehicle for the same reason you don't ride on the front on a moving boat. Remember, a child was killed from falling off of a pontoon boat and being run-over. If this guy was truly riding on the front bumper of the truck , then I'm pretty sure he wasn't backed over (at first). Initially, he was probably run over and then the truck had to back up to move off of him. The driver and the supervisor should be held accountable and both lose their jobs/positions. The guy that was riding made a mistake but whoever was driving and/or in charge should never have allowed it to begin with.

So, let me get this straight. Some are claiming in comments that the driver is a high ranking volunteer firefighter - one who remained with the City. Clearly, it is not anyone from Salisbury Fire Station 13. Maybe those volunteers were smart to break away from the cluster that is the SFD. Could it be that becoming an independent station is a testament to their awareness of the poor leadership within SFD and their desire to escape from it? Perhaps a light should be shown on those attacking the Station 13 volunteers. For all the superiority the paid men and remaining City volunteers like to claim, they are looking quite stupid today. To all the paid firemen and City volunteers - remember the saying "people in glass houses..."? Your house is definitely glass and of the most fragile kind!

Didn't that city cop recently call attention to all the inefficiency and waste at SFD only to have the city leaders and paid farmen try to silence him? He specifically said the blue reflectors were propaganda and a waste. There are bright yellow hydrants every hundred feet or so in the city. If the farmen can't find one without a road reflector then maybe they should look for other work. This incident today wreaks of incompetent management and unprofessional culture. Maybe they wanted to quiet that cop for a reason. This is a damn shame.

Since most of you never leave the shore and fewer have ever been in public safety, the blue reflector are a proven aid in hydrant location when properly installed. How many of you have looked for a hydrant at night in a driving rain storm while operating a 35ton vehicle with 3-4 people screaming over the radio where they want hose deployed? Thought so. BTW, I'm not affiliated with any FD in this area. That being said, no one should ever be riding on the front of a truck. Nearly all departments have done away with riding on the rear.

Also, after they let go of a bunch of staff, they replaced them with traveling nurses and doctors, who do not reside here and have no vested interest other than a paycheck. This also came from the horse mouth, when a relative was a patient there. Our "nurse" was from Massachusetts.

I am sorry but there is absolutely no excuse to have a fire engine putting these reflectors down in neighborhoods. I live not far from this neighborhood and there are always a lot of kids playing in the street in this neighborhood so they are lucky that they did not hit one of these kids.
I also heard the helicopter going over my house but I did not hear any sirens so the ambulance parked there was sent with as little attention as they could get by with. As for the coverage from our local media it is atrocious and this is just one more thing that has happened in Salisbury that is getting covered up.

Excellent question. There was a time that the Salisbury Fire Department was forbade from calling the helicopter because of such close proximity to PRMC a Trauma Center. Dr. Todd needs to get he act together as medical director. There is way to much on scene time while the patient waits in a parked ambulance for 45 minutes or more and the Trauma Center is 5 minutes away.

Amen Joe! Amen!!

Nearly every accident I can remember in the Salisbury Fire Department has has been the fault of the fire department driving. Just as Chris O'Barski about the multiple accidents he was in. He wrecked the brand new $100,000 SUV "Command" vehicle. Respond on an MVC that he wasn't dispatched on or even requested. He took it upon himself to go spy on the Station 1 Volunteers who were handling the call just fine. On another incident he was responding on a call in one of the older Crown Vics to a reported "stabbing" and Central just said it was a slice to the hand and not a stabbing, but he continued to keep responding after self dispatching himself. He got on Naylor Mill Road in the area prior to Lowes and wiped out and ran off the road. Very Amatueur driving and he didn't even get charged or written up. These paid firemen don't get charged because of "professional courtesy" which is very wrong. O'Barski has been a big screw up since the day he was hired and kept getting promoted because he was one of the "Good old Boys." Many other paid firemen have wrecked through wreckless driving. What about the many, many times the firemen wrecked the brand new tower truck. No one got written up on those. I could go on and on. What about the ones that we don't hear about.

Salisbury will never figure out how to properly cover their tracks. Proper press releases mean everything. Wait too long as in this instance, and you show your guilt. Perform a press release too fast and without the facts, and you look like an idiot and you show your lack of leadership, hence when those volunteers left the city and baby face Jake believed the chubby old man Hoppes. You want the facts out there for the whole nation to see, someone call Dave Statter from Statter911.com. Salisbury will be blasted for this one.

How about 16 volunteers taking 20 min to get a second run crew after being alerted? They were to cover the city after one of your own was hurt and it takes 20 + min to get a crew? Good lord this is the norm for them but, it is acceptable now? Station 2 hahaha couldn't get a crew if you paid them anymore. One of your own goes down you still have a job to do so get at it but, this is what the entire community wants now!

Let it be known that it was not originally dispatched. They were trying to handle everything as quiet as possible. Jon David Black then "Established Command" before anything was even dispatched. Everything was done by phone because they tried to keep it quiet. All of this Bullsh*t wasted valuable life saving time. Also get a copy of the 911 Centers tapes before they accidentally get erased.

Map books, or any other system paper or electronic, aren't foolproof. These reflective markers are just one more way to help spot a plug in less than perfect circumstances. It's one thing to see a red dot in a map book, it's another to actually be on the street and be able to see a reflective marker exactly where the plug is in relation to the fire.
For the little cost that is associated with these, it's well worth it.

A jimmy gladwell post this morning that states he seen the best care and response yesterday that he has ever seen so I would assume the public has never been important for some good quality care or a fast response.


I know folks mean well but please do me a favor and dont do me any favors by sending me links to an alternative news site. I am well aware of the nastiness being exhibited by the Anonymous heroes who just happened to have been at the scene and are experts in all things SFD.

Do yourself the favor and simply dont do that site any favors by visiting it. All of us will be better off and retain grey matter that actually matters.

Bad things happened, yesterday. Things that will affect both everyone who played a role and the department for years to come. But I also observed some of the best patient care and overall response to an incident that I've ever seen. People out front who responded and people behind the scenes who wont get the credit they deserve for what they did.

The positive actions exhibited by many far outweigh the bantering of a few moronic experts who lack the courage to attach their names to their cowardly commentary and who only continue to prove their ignorance with each key stroke.

Haters gonna hate. Leave them to do so within their realm of reality. Please leave me out of same.

He will not be charged with assault. Assault is an "intent" crime. You have to show that he INTENDED to run over him. He will probably be charged with negligent driving and failure to secure a passenger. Lastly, a fire engine is NOT a commercial vehicle. It is not used for commercial purposes.

He can be charged with Reckless Endangerment because of his negligence. It's a misdemeanor but still a criminal offense. Will the SPD roll over on the SFD? Will Disharoom fail to prosecute because of some political influence by Firefighters? She's up for election and the Fire Dept oversees some polls in our areas. And votes can get misplaced should firefighters get upset at certain candidates. Remember?

Who was the negligent driver/operator of this unfortunate incident?? I hope they get charged with everything on the books. I know Mike Lewis was on the scene and he should remind his colleague of the courts that this idiot needs to be charged and criminally if possible.

Holy crap, meanwhile nothing was dispatched? Funny how this all is being kept on the hush hush!!

September 3, 2017 at 12:39 PM

That's correct. Think of all this time that was wasted by them making numerous phone calls to keep this hush hush and then they call for Trooper 4 to carry this young man to Baltimore instead of carrying him to PRMC which is just 2 minutes away. What if they had to do immediate surgery to stop a serious bleed when these road doc's are getting their Jollies off because they called the medivac. These inexperienced yahoos are going to kill someone one day. They are taught or supposed to be taught in Paramedic school that waiting for a helicopter and transporting by helicopter is one of the most dangerous acts and decisions a paramedic can make.

23 hours ago our family was rocked by an unfortunate accident while 3 members were working on a service project. We want to thank God for the brother from Annapolis Fire Department that was placed there at the right time to assist our injured brother. We thank our fellow brothers who responded to this call and performed their duties with precision. We thank the MSP Trooper 4 crew who quickly arrived and transported our injured brother to the best hospital in the State for his injuries. When we reviewed the times from on scene to in the air, it may have felt like forever but in reality it was as fast as a transport to PRMC. We thank the leaders of the Department, City, Sheriff's, SPD, and Board of Ed for your support and strength.
As of about 12 hours ago our brother has come out of his surgery doing well and with positive results from the great team of surgeons at Shock Trauma. He still has a long road to follow home, but he will travel it with his loving family by his side. We are supporting the family with any and all needs that they have at this time and in the future. Their one request is for privacy and prayers at this time. We will keep you updated with what the family wishes to be shared in the future. Just know that every little prayer carries large power of healing and comfort to them all.
As we move forward we will be supporting all those involved in this incident who were deeply impacted by this event physically and mentally. We have a Critical incident management team ready to assist any member who needs help. They were a great help yesterday as we released from the scene and could start the healing process. To all those involved we pray together for you, "May God's healing hands and loving heart, hold you and fill you with peace." For our injured brother and his family we pray, " Almighty God, Wonderful Counselor and Healer, may your grace and presence be known in the coming days.

I know folks mean well but please do me a favor and dont do me any favors by sending me links to an alternative news site. I am well aware of the nastiness being exhibited by the Anonymous heroes who just happened to have been at the scene and are experts in all things SFD.
Do yourself the favor and simply dont do that site any favors by visiting it. All of us will be better off and retain grey matter that actually matters.
Bad things happened, yesterday. Things that will affect both everyone who played a role and the department for years to come. But I also observed some of the best patient care and overall response to an incident that I've ever seen. People out front who responded and people behind the scenes who wont get the credit they deserve for what they did.
The positive actions exhibited by many far outweigh the bantering of a few moronic experts who lack the courage to attach their names to their cowardly commentary and who only continue to prove their ignorance with each key stroke.
Haters gonna hate. Leave them to do so within their realm of reality. Please leave me out of same.

Jimmie Gladwell said... My post has been blogged by someone who cant grasp MD Medical Protocols nor understand the premise of your statement. I could care less. The website owner has presented some facts about the incident.
The comments from the haters however indicate every kind of conspiracy theory, imaginable. Should've taken to PRMC. Only used T4 b/c it was a FF. Cover ups of all kinds. Patient care providers didn't know what they were doing. Blah. Blah.
Both the MSP medics and Shock Trauma personnel commented on the outstanding level of care provided to the patient. Each used the term "life saving," at some point. Their words. Not mine.
Both indicated the use of the chopper completely appropriate and in line with MD PROTOCOL. Not SFD protocol.
Haters claiming no dispatch and that Ambo responded with no sirens to keep things hush hush. Wrong. I completed the incident report...with a Wic Cnty 9-1-1 Dispatch Centet assigned incident number. Which, BTW, was clearly dispatched via radio. The Ambo, AC, and engine all responded "hot." Lights/sirens.
Cover up?? SURE it was! Thats why I requested PD via radio for world to hear. Thats why WCSD reconstruction team arrived and completed a nearly five hour investigation. That's why drug screenings were initiated (per SOP) That's why IWIF was contacted. That's why MOSH was contacted. I'll have cell phone records to prove all this.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
Rake me over whatever coals you like. Facts are facts.

Lastly, for the MILLIONTH TIME..,the quote is "I COULDN'T care less". He keeps writing "I COULD care less". That doesn't even make sense. If you COULD care less it means you care. You are TRYING to say that you don't care i.e..." I couldn't care less". Think about what you say and write.

Why not. Bryan Records has been getting away with it for a couple of years now. They have been constantly bashing the Station 1 volunteers on Facebook and getting comments and likes by his boss, Jake Day and Muir Boda who were also bashing the Station 1 Volunteers.

Then you have a city police officer named Jason King who made indirect comments about paid firemen getting paid to sleep and night and then claiming to be heroes. Jimmy Gladwell, Bryan Records, Darrin Scott, etc. got so bent out of shape that they cried so much that Jake Day is trying to get him fired. Barb Duncan, Rick Hoppes and Jake Day all having secret meetings to decide what to do with him for bashing the paid firemen on Facebook. Funny how all those mentioned can use facebook to create problems with the volunteers and then when a city police officer makes one little comment they all go bat shit crazy and trying to find a way to fire him for posting on Social Media.

Who is 1616? He is the one that was trying to talk code to Central and then at some point he "established command." Not long after that Jimmy Gladwell took command.

1616 was the first person I heard talking on the radio about something going on and I'm thinking "I didn't hear no dispatching?" So what the heck? Most of this self dispatching was going on by phone conversations.

Then I heard the ambulance responding and they either told Gladwell or someone "did you see the notes? I think we need an engine to respond." Then Gladwell pipes up and says we have an engine responding and THAT fire engine wasn't dispatched by Central either. This was some very quiet handling of this call. Gladwell can get on his Facebook page and try some serious damage control, but he needs to be fired over the handling of this incident. He was the Assistant Chief in charge of the City yesterday so this happened under his watch. He needs to be fired. People under him have been written up, lost time and even lost their jobs over screw ups less serious than this. He is ultimately responsible for this fiasco. He is the one that authorized that fire engine to leave the station. He is the one that authorized that person to drive that fire engine and drive it negligently. He needs to be fired. If he was a real man he would step down because he has just cost the city of Salisbury millions of dollars!

3:50 AM you are correct. Rick Hoppes is the blame for promoting this clown to Assistant Chief. Shit flows uphill in this case. David Black you are dumb as a clam in the Fire Service and you don't even deserve to be a volunteer. When you get promoted you quit coming around because you are afraid you may have to actually go into a burning house and fight fire. I have talked to my brothers in the fire service that have been there over 20 years and they don't ever remember seeing David Black go into a structure fire. Never saw him first due and go in first with the nozzle and hose line. That is the workhorse of the fire service. That nozzleman is the brave one who fights fire and no one has ever seen you. You have little to NO experience, NONE. Done the bogus MFRI(No one fails) classes. In the MFRI classes there is a lot of cheating going on and if you don't get a C or better you can't pass the mid-term or final exams, BUT they let you retest until you pass and they give you the best score out of the two. So if you get a 100 on the retest and I only got an 80 on my first attempt it looks like you did better than I. MFRI is not a college program. It is a low skilled training program teaching in the garages of fire departments.

Yes David Black you are a very inexperienced firemen. He is the story with the Station 16 volunteers. There is a 24 hour paid crew at the main station on Cypress Street and always has been. So then what you have is paid firemen running all the calls and the volunteers are back up if needed. If they do get to respond to a fire with the paid firemen who are already there, the fire is already knocked down so the volunteers are used for mop up. They have to mop up after the paid fireman and the extract the hoses from the house and the roll the hoses or repack the hose bed for the paid men.

David Black you rarely ever drive a fire truck because Officers ride in the officers seat meaning that driving skills get very lax since they don't drive much.

David Black you don't have enough experience drive the fire trucks so why were you driving one anyhow. Are you really that damn stupid that you would let someone sit on the front bumper then you would show off to impress the young Probie. Shame on you, you worthless POS who almost killed that boy. Showing off is 100% Negligent and you need to be charged accordingly.

Anonymous said...

Why were the volunteers out doing that detail putting blue reflectors on the streets in front of the fire hydrants??

That was a paid man idea so it should have been the paid men out on that detail while the volunteer crew should have been staffing the station for pending alarms. They should also be staffing those fire trucks.

You volunteers are inexperienced and cowards to sit there and play second fiddle to the paid man. Shame on you, that's why you clowns have no experience.

He can be charged with Reckless Endangerment because of his negligence. It's a misdemeanor but still a criminal offense. Will the SPD roll over on the SFD? Will Disharoom fail to prosecute because of some political influence by Firefighters? She's up for election and the Fire Dept oversees some polls in our areas. And votes can get misplaced should firefighters get upset at certain candidates. Remember?

8:47, You are exactly right. However, when you have a millennial Mayor who is also a Liberal, everyone will get a free ride on this incident and let me explain why. Both the Mayor and Fire Chief were all over television almost CRYING as they felt more sorry for the poor driver and his mental state of mind. I'd take a baseball bat to that driver if it was my son! There is no freakin excuse for what happened, PERIOD. There should be criminal charges filed against these rebels who are supposed to be setting examples to our communities. Instead they are driving through communities breaking laws because they are not accountable because they are Firefighters. Mike Lewis needs to get off his ass and arrest the driver and charge him. Will it really take pressure from Salisbury News, (once again) like we did with the Delaware Senator bringing a loaded hand gun onto a plane recently and they let him go? Mike Lewis, (if he has jurisdiction) do your damn job. Mike also saw the TICKETS the Salisbury police put on the county fire trucks.
