That would be in the vicinity of this shooting!
Handcuffs....Hit me with the blue lights!
ReplyDeleteStation 2 volunteers were alerted via pagers and Salisbury EMS as well to the Corner of East Church Street and Linwood Street well after this shooting for an MVC.
ReplyDeleteActing Assistant Chief Frampton responded to the scene and said to alert outside EMS for the ambulance response to this call. Nothing else was said about the "non-existent" volunteers. Parsonsburg EMS responded to the scene for the Ambulance call.
Then when time was up for the re-alert for the Station 2 volunteers acting assistant chief Frampton said that he and the ambulance can handle the MVC. So he basically canceled the fire engine response to the MVC.
So, several things here that can be said:
1) Proof that a fire engine isn't needed to respond to automobile MVC's.
2) Proof that the surrounding volunteer stations can handle many of the calls in the "Salisbury Fire District," at least in the county.
3) Acting assistant chief Rob Frampton set the Station 2 volunteers up knowing they were going to scratch and try to embarrass them in the name of job security.
4) The assistant chief positions aren't really needed if they have time to respond to minor MVC's.
5) IF the Salisbury Fire Department really needs manpower/positions to staff a fire engine then they can use the 4 (FOUR) paid assistant chiefs that ride around all day in a $100,000 SUV. That would give them the minimum staffing of 3 for one shift with an extra man.
6) IF the Salisbury Fire Department really needs manpower/positions to staff a fire engine then they can use the 7 paid fire officers in the Administration wing that sits around doing nothing all day long.
(1)- Chief Hoppes
(2)- Deputy Chief John Tull, Deputy Chief 1
(3)- Deputy Chief Darrin Scott, Deputy Chief 2
(4)- Captain Tony Webster, Training Officer
(5)- Lieutenant Chris Truitt, EMS Officer
(6)- Lieutenant Bryan Lewis, Maintenance Officer
(7)- Lieutenant Eric Cramer, Fire Marshal 1
You see that is 11(ELEVEN) paid firemen doing basically NOTHING every single day. That roughly enough manpower to staff 4 more fire crews so don't go telling the public we have to raise taxes because we need more paid firemen because we have no volunteers.
Something else the city can do is sell all of these fire department staff cars and trucks that are not needed. How many is that now, 12?
If I close my eyes can I pretend this happened at night...like the majority of them.
ReplyDeleteSad
Nothing says crime is down like a shooting in the middle is the street at noon
ReplyDeletelike the old cow boy shows..... AT NOON PARTNER. WE DRAW ON ONE ANOTHER
DeleteThere's forever an ongoing risk to this neighborhood. Ask anyone.... well, anyone except for Jake Day.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if all of the shootings this past week are intertwined.
ReplyDeleteNaw! Just the opening of fall hunting season!
DeleteYep
DeleteThere was a 2 car MV accident on 13N the other day. No injuries.
ReplyDelete3-4 state police cars
1 SPD car
1 fire truck
1 ambulance
1 Fire person SUV
I guess it musta been a slow day at the station because that was definitely overkill.
Time for vigilantes?
ReplyDeleteMy retirement date can't come soon enough. Once it does, we're out of here for a place where there's less crime and fewer criminals. We're tired of having that nagging feeling that our house or property will be burglarized every time we leave town for a couple of days.
ReplyDelete3:25.....good luck with that. I have looked and have failed to find an area that isn't infested with crime. In case you haven't heard...there is a major drug war going on in this country and people (bad and good) are dropping like flies. So Sad.
ReplyDeleteSalisbury needs new leadership.
ReplyDeleteSalisbury fire department has a close runner up in lack of brains and that is Pittsville fire Dept.They rode 2 engines around town last night blowing horns and sirens in anticipation of the great monster head coming out of the pumpkin patch on tuesday night.
