Tri is BI by all regards a arrogant snob.
Salisbury has become hostile towards volunteers which are the ones that started the fire dept.
13 setting idle but still have bingo on wed nites lets get busy
Volunteering means that you show up for the calls, doesn't it?
Sounds like there may be some “splainin” to do.
Volunteering in communities that value their service.
Heck Del Ave Head Quarters could walk. Where are all the paid?
Volunteers have been spat upon and made second class citizens. If I were one, I would call out and let the paid crews fall flat on their faces as often as possible until we got recognition as true honest, trustworthy, and valuable people.
Otherwise, I would act like I was as worthless as the paid crews treated me.
Was around 18 minutes before engine responded with volunteers.
Rick and jake have lied from day 1. I live in nutters crossing and nobody from here ever said what they claim nutters had said about the new volunteers.
Station 13 needs to be brought back to the city . They were getting out but the chief lied with the numbers. They were staffing and always at the firehouse . We need there help.
13 ticks have to be lead by the hand they are clueless plus chances of them showing up is very questionable also. If they didn't show before who says they will show now.
Good point 9:20, they would be NO SHOWS!
Awww some paid prick has his panties in a bunch. 13 volunteers had the highest runs for the volunteers in the city and it is showing. Lead by the hand hahaha! More like the paid assistant chiefs were to scared to let them do any work in fear that the paid crews might not get merit badges for their class a’s. It was always engine 1 on the scene, engine 1 you will have utilities and RIT! You never wanted to work with them so, when you did they were never good enough to “your” standards. Well when they never had the chance to do the job how did you expect them to “work” to your standards? Let alone work good with you? Every firefighter in the county knows that burning at mfri is not the same as a real house fire. The volunteers were always blamed for the hostility but, in fact it was the paid crews (not all) that were talking behind the volunteers backs after the calls. Well if they were not up to your standards then, why didn’t you try to improve the volunteers you talked bad about in ways that didn’t embarrass or put them down? Remember one day it could be a volunteer that saves you! So, make sure they are what they need to be when that time comes but, we all know what you have been doing and will continue to do which is nothing suggested in this.

It's comments like this that ruined the SFD, you are part of the problem. Just another paid guy thumping your chest, becides you are a complete lier, you are beating your chest lying about the imaginary 130 volunteers salisbury lied about, well where they at ? Why don't you get a real job, not one that volunteers do for free. Sucking up a paycheck to ride around in your big rig to the bank, supermarket, joy ride by the college hanging out the window fo the engine slobbering like a rabid dog at the young women, hope your wife is okay with what you all say to the SU girls. Then after you ride and belittle the volunteers at your paid job you strap on your " tick box " and volunteer at your home station . Hypocrisy much ? Losers.
Good firemen know what to do without being told what to do when they arrive at a fire with reported people trapped. It's automatic to begin fire suppression search and rescue simultaneously without being told to do so. Beside Joe just because you don't hear things on the radio don't mean it wasn't said face to face which happens lots of times. Remember radio's don't put fires out people do.
Salisbury volunteers ruined themselves by not showing up to calls in addition to a sever lack of leadership within the volunteer portion of the fire department. If engine 1 arrived the crew most always had to led by the hand to handle the simplest of tasks. Station 1 has never had any firemen to speak of ever. Yes you were always assigned RIT because you were the last ones to the fire coming across town and most always the fire was out when you arrived. No one has run volunteers off but volunteers they have self destructed in the last 5 plus years. I will blame a good portion of this on Mark Cotter with his stupid hours program wanting volunteers to come staff apparatus. Sorry volunteers don't need to staff apparatus volunteers to respond back to the station when fires a dispatched to bring manpower and equipment to the scene.
Boy do I smell jealous comments from hater club.

Here we go again bashing each other again. By your statement saying that if you were a volunteer, you would not go to a call just to make the paid member look bad, just shows that you would be thinking of yourself and not the citizens.
Well now that each side has been bashed by the scanner Quarterbacks, maybe we can take a breath. Much to do about nothing here. A routine fire with nobody reported trapped by the dispatch center. The occupants had been removed prior to the fire department arriving. An engine and ladder on scene in a timely manner and assisted by ambulance crews. Based on photos posted on the SFD website you could knock the fire down quickly with one line. Truck companies search and vent and we all go home. End of story. The Chief utilized his crews to achieve all the benchmarks of fire scene management. To my knowledge nobody died or was injured and the house is still standing. So your claim of some kind of mismanagement or safety issues simply doesn't hold water. Its quite obvious that you personally had no first hand knowledge of the on scene facts of this incident. If you did you wouldn't have the time to critique the fire here on a blog. Here are the known facts. A routine structure fire was extinguished with no injuries or loss of life. An experienced Chief officer commanded the fire in the same manner he always does, by using the resources available to him. Quite simply it was business as usual and everyone went home safely.
"If they don't use Station 13 when they go LIVE it will be tort and negligence"
Really ! And just where do you think your going Live ? There is a FSA in place which does not include station 13 or any mention of them. One term Bob doesn't want to challenge that agreement in an election year. It would be a Liability to utilize station 13 at any incident.
There seems to be some belief that the fire chief has to tell every unit exactly what to do. Departments like Salisbury have standard operating procedures of what to do on a scene. Just because you didn't hear it on your scanner doesn't mean it didn't happen.
13 will be riding very very soon within days according to somebody at 911 center . I guess their hard work has paid off for them.
Sounds to me that in one knows what the hell their doing. Records isn't someone that should be in charge on the scene. He's more of a yes man follower if you will
A lot of good fireman use to be at station 1 years ago . A lot of them came from down town . I'm sure your a real big shot fireman yourself .
That agreement has nothing to do with that station running in the county at all . Read the agreement it's only between Salisbury and wicomico with paying them and Salisburys running district. They can't stop that station from running mutual aid in wicomico county . Go hide behind another screen and review your facts.
Listen to dispatch it said got a house fire blah blah blah with possible entrapment
Funny people always assume it's this person writing this and that well guess what I'm a retired fire line officer from the city of Salisbury and yes I listen to this mess all the time and yes I wrote this post. . I did my years on the rig not as a FH marker upper . The things that come across the air make you sound so dumb and I must mention some are . Salisbury is full of quantity instead of quality. If that fat chief wasn't there I'm sure all the vol would be more active . Same thing happen before . Everybody needs to grow up and remember why you signed up and the paid guys and certain vol need to be fired or let go or made to grow up .
Oh how wrong you are. Let’s see south division street paid man off the medic unit unaccounted for do to being cut off by fire truck 1 with volunteers first in scene by five min and told to wait for duty crew engine! Really? Could have been a bread and butter fire if the paid assistant chief had followed what they do during the day and the truck hits the fire.
Salisbury is going to hurt some body bad one day . They already ran one over and David black got away with. He was never charged by police when what he did was against the law. They brush things under the rug . Poor jorden has to live with the stuff now . This is why we can't get out over to station 2 because this place is a circus and nobody wants to be a part of it . We should just close station 2 down .I'm ashamed to say I'm still in Salisbury.
How fortunate for the 13 Vols to have this site to spew their hateful comments and speak about their delusional dreams. The fact is you wont be responding to anything. Corey might be telling you so, but there isn't anyone within 25 miles who want your services. Theres a new Chief in Willards that says NO ! Fruitland NO ! Delmar NO ! Parsonsburg NO ! Even Hebron Says NO ! The Key word here is NO. The same thing the Council and everyone else has said for a year. Keep on drinking the Kool Aid and believing and loser. As for your story about S. Division St. you don't have anyone fooled. That famous quote of Lil Ell stating "Its To Hot" is known by all. Just admit you were scared. You had your chance to do what first due companies do and you blew it.
S. Divison street fire is the one where the medic crews went in first and there were two on the stairs saying it was to hot. Truck one requested to pull a handline on more than one occasion at that fire. They were told by the assistant chief and I quote “do not pull a handline the duty engine is two min out!” Kind of hard to do the job when ordered to stand down and having to assist with one of the medic crew on the roof trying to get away from the fire!
Just keep telling yourself that story. I was there and know different. You were scared and failed to accomplish the most basic of task. That scenario happened to many times with your group. Never trained and never prepared. The story of your life. Spoon Fed
LiL Ell went for the line and rob Frampton stopped him with saying the wagon will handle the line . Mean while they are enroute from crooked oak drive . Also station 5 didn't say NO and Willard did not say NO and fruitland and parsonburg just said they would not add them to their card. That dose not mean they won't use 13 . If all those stations said no than the vote would have never passed in the chiefs association . Salisbury and other stations can refuse to use them that will be fine for a while . When the insurance companys get involved it will be a bad day . Don't think them boys from 13 won't run and tell them .
"Instead he put the crew from the ambulance out of service on scene and had them gear up to help the engine with suppression."
Wrong! All 3 on duty paid Paramedic crews on the ambulance were allowed to gear up and play firemen for the day. With that said Bryan Records allowed these paid paramedics to be out of service for the entire time of the fire thus keeping the vulnerable citizens and visitors of the Salisbury Fire District in both the city and the county. That means the three paid paramedic units in the Salisbury Fire Department which is funded by both the city, the county were out of service for 2 and a half hours or more. That means many citizens could have died because of Bryan Records stupidity. He is too old, too complacent and always has been too dangerous. It's time for him to resign.
Here are some questions and something that the taxpayers of Salisbury should know.
On Wednesday morning, January 24, 2018, around 9 AM or so, I was on my way to a doctors appointment at a DC hospital and a white Salisbury City car went flying by me just past the town of Easton. I was doing about 65 MPH so I would guess that this City car was doing approximately 80 MPH. I am LEO so I can give a good estimate of speed. It looked like a White Ford Edge with those silly looking Jake Day family colors on the stripes. The car also had a city seal and Local Government tags. When I caught up with her at the next stop light near the area I inched up on the passenger side and looked into the window. It appeared to be driven by Julia Glanz, Salisbury City Administrator. I also paced her at speeds between 75 to 85 in a 55 MPH zone to the next stop light near the Outlets. She wasn't even aware that I was behind her. What I would like to know and the citizens of Salisbury need to know is why she was driving at dangerously high speeds through the town and even faster on the highway. She is a liability to the City and the citizens. She could have killed herself and/or innocent victims of these counties she was driving through.
This needs to be exposed and the Citizens have to know about it. I hope you post this because I would love to see what kind of excuse she has for putting lives in Jeopardy. Where was she going in such a hurry? She is also a liability to the City's insurance company and probably shouldn't be driving City vehicles.
To the owner of this blog, I give you permission to post this as a Letter to the Editor. Are the readers familiar with "A year and a day?"
Hostility to the Volunteers Part I
The Salisbury paid firemen have been hostile to the volunteers for many years. It's been going on for many years, but the volunteers have always been able to control the situation better.
It got worse when then Mare Barrie Tilghman hired an outsider by the name of Stephen K. Brezler, a reject from Baltimore County. Steve Brezler was on of 3 Batallion Chiefs that were given the ax in Baltimore County. They had to resign or get fired. They chose to resign. Many of the firefighters at the time, both career and volunteer knew people in Baltimore so they did their own investigation and they found out that Brezler wasn't a good choice. He hated volunteers and blacks. There was an incident involving a black man and a noose and if you talked around you would be more likely to find more information on this racist incident.
When Brezler was hired he started his reign of terror and the a$$ kissers came out of the woodwork. Some are still around today. Rick Hoppes, Bryan Records, John Tull and Jimmy Gladwell. Records and Tull got promoted to Lieutenant through a rigged promotional system of cheating and butt kissing. There was also a lot of butt kissing from Bryan's parents and John's Father and mother in law. Hoppes kissed Brezlers A$$ so bad that he was promoted from Lieutenant to Captain without even taking a test and others had to. David See was so much like Brezler that he leapfrogged from Captain to Deputy Chief under Brezlers. There were others, but they are the most relevant paid men that have been hostile to the volunteers in their efforts to run them out. So much happened during Brezler's Reign of Terror and the volunteers at Station 2 tried to secede and were very close except they didn't get the support of the County Volunteer Firemen's Association and the County Council. The good volunteers had to back down and they were forced to turn everything they bought, including fire trucks with County Funding over to the City. This left them is such bad shape that they wouldn't be able to go out on their own or secede again. Now let's fast forward momentarily. This is the reason that the old Station 2 fire station was torn down and the land given back to Shore Distributors. Structurally the building was sound, but with it gone the volunteers lost control and ownership. With it torn down, Rick Hoppes could say that the building was condemned and it had to be torn down. Fake News. How many solid brick buildings built in the 1930's had to be torn down because they were "condemned?" None that I know of, but people are too dumb to understand unless they are the ones that just want a new building like they built on Cypress Street. Also, Rick Hoppes gets his name on a brass plaque attached to the new building forever. Barrie and Brezler's Reign of Terror was the start of the Hostile Takeover of the volunteers in Salisbury.
When Brezler couldn't take the resistence any longer he caved in and bailed out with a resignation after 2 years. Then Barrie Tilghman appointed David See as the next fire chief. Not bad for a man that was going to get fired as a Lieutenant. The man was full of lies and hatred towards the volunteers. He constantly disrespected the city council members who questioned his corruption in the Fire Department.
While David See was a paid Captain at Station 2 he was so mean and arrogant and blamed everything on thos "stupid f***ing TICKS. He hated volunteers and ran many of them off then.
Hostility Towards the Volunteers Part III
Prior to Rick Hoppes being promoted to Deputy Chief, Gordy and See made is so difficult to be one of the good leaders in the fire department that Deputy Chief Tim Keenan had enough and couldn't take it any longer and resigned.
David See, Bill Gordy and Rick Hoppes changed the SOP's and much of the criteria making it extremely difficult to be a volunteer in Salisbury. The volunteer were forced to do way more training and certifications than any volunteer member in Wicomico County. To those who didn't comply to these new standards the Nazi Leadership went to homes and places of employment and handed the "non-compliant" volunteers their pink slips, including Delegate Norman Conway. These self imposed standards newly created by the SFD, See, Gordy, Hoppes, Bragg, Records, Tull, Gladwell, et. al. Some are still members of this fire department and the cause of running out the vollies in the City.
David See retires not long after he got beat up by his wifes son after running his mouth to him. Short Stuff See wasn't the Bad A$$ he thought he was and showed up to work with a busted lip, nose and forehead. He told everyone he slipped and hit his head on the coffee table at home.
With See's retirement Hoppes was promoted to acting Fire Chief during a nationwide search for a new chief. Mare Ireton didn't want Hoppes so he was turned down on 3 separate interviews processes that didn't work out. Then comes along Jeff Simpson, an outsider with minimal experience from Virginia. Simpson's Reign of Terror caused many career and volunteers to leave as well. The best part of Simpsons Reign of Terror was how he "demoted" Hoppes back to a Deputy Chief of Administration and promoted John Tull to Senior Assistant Chief of Operations. There is no such position in the department, but it was Simpson's way to make John Tull more superior than Hoppes which most employees enjoyed. Hoppes has never been liked in the Salisbury Fire Department.
Fast forward to 2017. Rick Hoppes and Jake Day work tirelessly to run off as many volunteers as then can from Station 1. The volunteers had been manning the station on nights and weekends and Hoppes didn't like that. For the past 2 years Hoppes refused to meet with the Station 1 volunteers and Mare Jake Day would listen to them either. Jake Day told them to "Follow Chief Hoppes' SOP's or get out." After the Station 1 Volunteers gave their Ultimatum to the City beginning several months later Hoppes and Jake Day authorized locking them out of the firehouse. Bryan Records responded to the fire station with lights and sirens blaring and ordered them out of the building and called the police. Since then childish comments from the paid firemen have been showing up on this blog.
So there you have it, a short history of how the paid firemen ran off the volunteers, then lies and says they have 160 volunteer firemen, but they refuse to show up. This is designed to keep hiring more paid firemen. It's my understanding that Jake Day has approved 4 new paid firemen in the upcoming July 1, 2018, budget.
The Volunteers are not welcome at Station 2. There is a lot that goes on "behind the scenes" basically, They are being ran out. Plain and simple, there is no coming back from this and the higher up's know this and instead of helping the problem they let them fail and make it ten times harder than it needs to be to be a volunteer.
The chief threatened to require everyone go to "hours" if they did not come up with a policy on their own he would enforce one, so when the volunteers felt they had no choice in the matter, they implemented station 16's volunteer policy and then the Fire chief and all the high ups state "They did not agree with the hours program, however you all decided on this" They were forced to do this and the higher ups are claiming they do not agree with it when they indeed enforced it behind the scenes.
Also people claim there is a "lack of leadership" at station 2.....Well here's an idea, there are only 3 line officers (1 of which is out on medical) and they can't do everything. People have to put forth the effort to want to be there and if they do not then they need to resign. Plain and simple.
They also need to address the bullying that goes on in that building and the back stabbing and talking about people behind their back, or purposely looking for ways to cause issues for certain people just because one or two individuals do not like certain members. It's allowed to happen so how do you expect the bullies to stop when they are allowed to do it?!?!?
The chief requires "in house staffing" took away their pagers alerting for calls unless it is a fire. Whats the point in that? That is not what a volunteer is. Yes I know times are changing but you can't require people to do "in house staffing" only and expect them to show up when it's never been that way. You want free employees is what you want.
The issues are not just that volunteers do not show up, its A LOT of issues on ALL sides that are not addressed.

January 26, 2018 at 9:57 AM
So you are saying that Rick Hoppes, Wannabe Fire Chief, took the pagers away from the volunteers so that they can only respond on calls if they are at the station doing duty hours only? How do you expect volunteers to come back when they don't have pagers to alert them that there is a fire?
The 3 "officers" at station 2 that you speak of are a huge part of the problem! The drunk that's out on "medical leave" is a complete idiot and has never done a thing there. The "Captain", that only goes to the gym and no calls, but wants to be a career fireman. And that worthless Byrd, who can only respond if its a prearranged photo op or to blow smoke up the mayors behind. I'd get rid of everyone of those Facebook firemen out there and be done with that station as well.
I do know for a fact that the volunteers at Station #2 in Salisbury aren't allowed to staff the engine or the truck unless they get permission from the on duty assistant chief. Who would want to work under those slave conditions anyway. I can't blame the volunteers for not coming back if they are treated like second class citizens.
Joe this is a problem and it happens way to often.

Anyone that wants to get rid of volunteers is obviously a paid fireman. This is the culture that has existed under the faux leadership of Rick Hoppes and he learned it from one of the best, Stephen K. Brezler.
I read the posts on "Hostility Towards the Volunteers" and that commenter is right on the money. Salisbury needs to change and it's not going to change with Rick Hoppes as the fire chief. Jake Day needs to get his head out of his ass and put that A$$ Hat into retirement.
Either Hoppes goes or Jake Day goes. There is an election coming up and with a better salary for the part time mayor I have been hearing about some interest in running for mayor.

No, actually they are not. Byrd and "The Captain that only goes to the gym and no calls, but wants to be a career fireman" are not the problem, how can you lead people when there isn't a damn soul there???? BTW are you jealous that he wants to be a paid man or something?? Sounds like YOU are part of the problem as well. Maybe if you could do a better job you could apply....But I'm sure that will never happen, right? You just like to sit around and crap talk people and not be apart of the solution.
Maybe address the volunteer that is a sheriff deputy that has multiple personalities and constantly makes it his mission in life to cause problems for other people. Ever wonder if that is why people don't show up? It's a negative place to be 99 percent of the time and the volunteers were set up to fail..... And surprise, they are! DING DING DING
And to the person that asked if the pagers still go off, no they do not. Only for "bell alarms" They require you to do in house staffing only now, there is no pagers being alerted or responding to calls.
Joe , Hostility towards volunteers should be a headline post, the truth needs to come out.
They are being run out.
Who is the drunk
Look at the big picture. The city files a lawsuit against station 13 for the lacy fund stating they have abandoned it and that the city is now entitled to their portion of that fund . So if the city wins you can kiss 2 and 16 gone and the city will now gain access to 1.5 plus million dollars. Go ahead guys and girls fight for the chief cause it's giving him help to get you gone . I know this for a fact . Anybody can read the lawsuit and see it for your self.
Engine 507 and Ambulance B-5 is enroute to the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center for a pre-arranged standby. Wait, I thought that was the Salisbury Fire Departments fire district???
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! The Salisbury Fire Department has been spurned by the County again. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Karma! Funny how things happen.
It's a county owned building and county run operation, hence, the "Wicomico" Youth and Civic Center name. The city seldom, if ever, provides paid personnel for a stand-by. Nice try. Oh, and btw, why is it that when there is a call you guys get re-alerted 2-3 times (if you get out at all) but when there is an opportunity for a free show or free food there is all of a sudden 25 people who are conveniently available?

The City of Salisbury tried stealing that money from the volunteers in the late 1980's. Francis Darling and Paul Martin tried stealing that money that was willed to the Salisbury Fire Department and some sharp volunteer accidentally found out about it. I believe they had to go to court back then to get the money back and that is how the Lacey Fund ended up at the Community Foundation. When the money reached $1 million dollars the interest was to be divided into 3 and paid out to Station 1, 2 and Headquarters. The City has tried to F**K the volunteers ever since. Rick Hoppes was around then and he knows about the Lacey Fund and he is trying to get his hands on it to pay for more paid firemen. Shame on Rick Hoppes who started out as a volunteer. Worthless SOB!

Heck Del Ave Head Quarters could walk. Where are all the paid?
January 24, 2018 at 8:17 PM
Heck, don't you remember when that car repair shop/garage caught on fire directly behind the Salisbury Fire Headquarters on Cypress Street a couple of years ago? That building burnt to the ground when all of the on-duty paid firemen were in Station 16 eating dinner. There were about 15 people in that fire station and they should have been able to knock that fire down instantly. They are pathetic. They had to get Hebron, Delmar and Fruitland to put the fire out for them. Paid fireman are worthless in Salisbury. The city scraped the bottom of the barrel to hire those worthless miscreants. They are only working in Salisbury because they can't get real jobs in DC, Baltimore City, Anne Arundel County, PG County, etc. Most of them can't even get hired in Ocean City. Fat A$$ Rick Hoppes even showed up and the fire got out of hand with him there. I think Bryan Records was in "Command" of that fire as well. Nothing goes well with the Records in charge because they aren't the real firefighters some people think they are.

Rick and jake have lied from day 1. I live in nutters crossing and nobody from here ever said what they claim nutters had said about the new volunteers.
January 24, 2018 at 8:43 PM
That's correct, they got Rick Hoppes' buddy former fire chief Steve Brezler who lives in Nutters to write letters as if he was speaking for everyone in Nutters. Bryan Records was caught going into Nutters telling people lies about the Station 1 volunteers. Volunteer fireman Jon David Black and paid paramedic Eric Johnson both live in Nutters and they were walking around the development telling lies about the Station 1 volunteers as well. Job security.
You were on a TRUCK and were expected to do TRUCK work. NOT ENGINE work. You couldn’t buck up and enter to search, throw ladders or even place the TRUCK properly outside to be used if needed. You all sat there and said “It’s to hot, we can’t go in.”
Meanwhile, firefighters (people who aren’t just t shirt wearers) went to work when they got there. After gently pushing you out of the way...
The “tort and negligence” would apply to anyone who bypasses an existing next due to have the 13 crew run hells bells, lights and sirens through another response area to get to a mutual aid fire. Let an accident happen, any lawyer with two brain cells would have a field day with that.
You have to be willing to show up first to get out..
^^ Funny how that works... Fire? Realert... MVC? Realert.., Medical assist? Realert.., Fire alarm ? Realert..,
Free food and a chance to show off my new FD T shirt ? MAN I Am THERE!! Where is the sign up sheet?
foundation savers is all they are......
Meanwhile during the day, the paid staff just fights fire with the Truck and the engine crew comes and does the truck work. Thought it was team work to put the fire out not let it spread and cause more damage. Plus when an assignment is given to the Truck crews and the ambulance crew just assumes to become firefighters leaving the incoming crews to a liability of not having life saving measures if needed then who is really not doing their job?
Nope since you have an assigned area to cover and they don’t there is no liability there. Now, if you use that example then, when Salisbury has a call and needs assistance there would be a problem as you have explained as well.
No ability to use the stick on that fire and all reason to act as a engine while first on the scene for at least 4 to 5 . There was not a whole lot of people that can comment on this unless your Frampton, Cox, Merrill,Foskey,Foskey,Hallstrom,Elliott, and that would be because they were the only ones at the fire for that 4 mins. So the rest of us shouldn't be quarterbacking this call . The call was looked Into and I certainly was one to look into it . Nothing that night was done wrong and all crews did what was asked. Yes the medic crew and the truck crew went in for search and yes Cox got a hair jammed up and truck crew went out for the line and yes the incident command said the line would be handle by the engine . Well what's wrong with that ? The truck all ready had a assignment and yes conditions changed but to solve the issue the ladders were placed and firefighter was gotten from the roof with no incident and by that time the engine was arriving . The incident command made a decision and if something happen he would live with but again he is command so stop bitching and further your selfs in the fire service and rise through the ranks if you dont like others decision.

No assigned territory because they are NOT a fire station. And tremendous liability to any fire department that adds them out of order to their response and bypasses an existing STATION just to placate this band of misfits.
But only a liability about 49% of the time as statistically and historically that’s the level of performance for their responses.
Paid personal? Thought the city had volunteers as well? See where the paid personal’s heads really are here. They really do want all the volunteers out hell, they don’t even realize they still have “some” there now that could do this in their district.
Wait there was more than 15 in that building . There were wanna be instructors teaching that stupid acedmedy fire 1 class.
Rick and John the ones that snatched the line out on the guys on brittingham. They are dangerous . They are just book wizards .
They (sta 13) are recognized by the state of Maryland as a fire company so your argument is invalid. Tri made sure of that when he thought he was going to get them thrown out of the MSFA.

Sounds like more BULLSH!T from the paid Farmin in Salisbury! Typical scare tactics with lies. Prove where the tremendous liability exists?. They are so scared to death about their paid jobs they have to lie after lie.
I tell you what. Since you can't prove it just sign your name.

The Station 1 volunteers are recognized by their charter through their charters with State Firemans Association and the County Firemans Association. Cherry Cheeks Townsend was at the Maryland State Firemens Association starting sh!t and got them to vote on doing an MSFA Inspection of Station 1 Vollies and they passed. Time to do the same inspections at Station 16 and Station 2.

This Douche Bag paid Farmin doesn't know WTH he is talking about. Trust me when I tell you the Salisbury Fire Department did all the standby's at the Civic Center as well as the Airport. I've been around long enough that I know because I used to stand by there all the time with the SFD. If you don't know what the HELL you are talking about then, "hence" STFU!

If that is the case then "tort and negligence" would apply every time you paid men on the fire engines in Salisbury self-dispatches and chases nearly every ambulance call, DUMB ASS! The Salisbury Fire Department needs to stop chasing the ambulance calls with a fire truck when they are not dispatched.
They are not needed "hence" they were NOT dispatched. When the paid crews run hells bells, lights and sirens when they self dispatch to get to an ambulance call. Let an accident happen, any lawyer with two brain cells would have a field day with that.

The view volunteers that are left are never dispatched. Only the paid fire crews on duty are dispatched and they run from one end of the city to the next through different territories costing to much time and someone is going to stop breathing and die because of the delay. There is no reason for Engine 16 to respond lights and sirens to the Walson property across from the Sby/Wicomico Airport. That is one end of the fire district to the other end in the county. Those people on Airport Road would die since the volunteers have been locked out of their fire station and now have to wait for an ambulance and a fire engine from Station 16 on Cypress Street. If the people that write the ISO ratings knew about this they wouldn't have been upgraded like they conveniently did this past Summer. Right David See and Rick Hoppes.

No one said they did you IDIOT!!^^
The Civic Center is in the middle of the Salisbury Fire District so the volunteers, from "hence" the Salisbury Fire Department covered all the standby's. I should know, I was one of them. Paid firemen lying all the time. Go back to your lounge at Station 16 with your 20 recliners and get back on xBox.

Oh you mean like when Engine 16 bypasses Station 13 on Snow Hill Road to get to Parkside High School and other buildings in that area. So please tell us about that "remendous liability??" Touche!
Joe I heard that Tri Townsend aka Cherry Cheeks sent a letter to County Executive Bob Culver demanding that Station 16 and Station 2 get paid the "County Funds" like the other volunteer fire companies in the County get. Has he been sleeping during the work and signing of the Fire Service Agreement between the Salisbury Fire Department, The City of Salisbury, Wicomico County and the Wicomico County Fire Chiefs Association?
Joe have you heard about this recent letter by Cherry Cheeks? If you have it could you please post it. I would love to see what Cherry Cheeks is demanding.
I have no horse in this race but as an outsider looking on Jake day, Richard Hoppes, Brian records etc screwed up the fire service in Salisbury. This used to be a tight knit group and yes it was mostly volunteers. They used to enjoy life hang out together have a good time. Now its nothing but backstabbing cut throat garbage.
And some wonder why no one wants to open a major company here and hire you people. Classic example of the local workforce not being able work together. Everyone of them thinks they are smarter than the next one and they each have an IQ equal to their inseam length plus waist size.
Look this weekend only, little butt hurt guys from 2 doing stand buys. Hahaa last weekend of the month got to get them hours in and walk around with their chest out wearing their pretty t-shirts on display for all to see. But next week they won’t be found as its back to normal no show after no show for calls.
When they have that pretty paid uniform on. But, when they leave and go back to their volly house. Funny thing though they go back to their volly house and they tell their membership there how things should be run. Volly house listens to them and they come back to work the next day and trash talk about their vollies to their IAFF buddies on how stupid they are.

Looks to Me like there are dedicated officers and firefighters staffing station 2 for the night. Sounds like someone is a little jealous. If your going to attempt to degrade them with a poorly composed comment, at the very least ensure your grammar is correct.
Shorebirds is county owned as well but they threaten to lock another station up or 13 up if they showed up there . Brian records and Darrin Scott did that. So why don't they do that at the civic center since that is their territory .
Rick hoppes and John tull.
Yea that's when they rolled hooch out the front door and rob Frampton was inside and some others without a line and evac horns blowing . I remember that . Hoppes was the worthless training officer I think at that time .
If you read it was a reply back to a question . Somebody posted who was the drunk. Then somebody replied Ryan so why don't you read u dummy
They ride by all the time now when they don't have a call
Key phrase: " I WAS one of them" (and I'm sure nobody misses you). I'll go back to my recliner, you go back to the bingo hall at your fake fire department.
If you're going to try to put a hard working group of guys and gals down, maybe you should try proof reading first.
Paid guys just mad cause they couldn't split up and show reason why they need more
Its pathetic when firemen sided with someone like Jake Day to fulfill his political agenda going against other volunteer fire fighters and what's good for them as well. There was once a code in fraternities like this, solidarity and having each others back not this feces Salisbury calls its fire Dept. If I were a volunteer firefighter in Salisbury I wouldn't want to gave to put my trust in putting my life on the line with the likes of Hopped, Scott, Records etc. As for Hoppes step away from the table once in awhile its a good thing you stuck your head up Days ass because you'd have a coronary trying to physically fight a fire
To those of you that are full time paid firefighters did you start your fire career as paid city employees or were you once a volunteer in your late teen early 20's and it BECAME a career?
Is that the best comeback you have? Hard working? For 36 hours a month! That’s true dedication right there.
As I scroll through the comment here it is painfully obvious our educational system has failed in a major way. A lack of sentence structure and spelling skills are on the top of the list. The consistent lack of confidence and fear of paid firefighters is overwhelming. Hopefully no third world countries will see these post and judge us on the moral content. I don't know the battling characters in this war, but it strongly resembles a Jerry Springer show or a Trailer Park Council meeting. I have but one request for those commenting on this matter. Please Get A Life !
99 comments about one simple house fire. Back and forth bitching and complaining about something that isn't going to change. For God sake will you all just Get A Life.
The same Hot Head that cost his family business over 2 million dollars is ranting again. The fear of Paid Men keeps him up at night with hatred.
And what does that say about you?? Couldn't you even get a job in the school system you have to go to a blog to TRY and project your superior intelligence? Its a blog I doubt very seriously people are worried about sentence structure or doing spell check. Its not our term papers, what a MORON

You are pathetic. So basically what You are saying is they are "dammed if they do, and dammed if they don't?" Obviously You have an issue with them staffing and also have an issue with them not showing up, pick a side fence sitter. BTW Where were you this weekend?

Wanna talk about people dying? How about the little girl on Princeton that died, because not one single piece, nor one single sole from Station 1 showed up to the fire on a Saturday afternoon and it was located around the corner from your station. You guys are pathetic!
You can't blame that girls death on them. You guys never got her for 11 mins . Your a low life pos.
You mean the same weekend that staffing (which was being done any other time) was requested and denied to the known shortage of man power, due to abundance of people on vacation? By the way, there were volunteers at the station but, they were needing a driver. Yet, one drove speeding by (dep. chief of volunteers) in his clown car to the scene instead of getting the engine out.
Anon 12:27 Its not superior intelligence. Its basic reading and writing skills and obviously you don't have a grasp on either. Your laziness and lack of desire to project a basic level of competence is probably the main reason your not in a fire department. That takes Teamwork, skills and work ethic. I'm 100 % certain that you can't take criticism. Stop watching Springer and get a job.

Oh wait! I thought you paid men were so great and didn't need the volunteers. If you didn't need them then why did you run them off.
Where were the 3 medic units, why couldn't they save the little girl? They carry tools on the medic as well as their fire gear. The ambulances are much closer and quicker anyway. They all think they are ParaGods so they should have saved the little girl. You also failed to mention the little girl locked herself in that room where no one could get to her. You are just grasping for straws to attack the Station 1 volunteers. Everyone knows by now the culture and the atmosphere at the Salisbury Fire Department towards the volunteers that no one wants to be around there. Even paid medics are leaving that Shithole. You are one pathetic Shithead!

The Volunteers are not welcome at Station 2. There is a lot that goes on "behind the scenes" basically, They are being ran out. Plain and simple, there is no coming back from this and the higher up's know this and instead of helping the problem they let them fail and make it ten times harder than it needs to be to be a volunteer.
The chief threatened to require everyone go to "hours" if they did not come up with a policy on their own he would enforce one, so when the volunteers felt they had no choice in the matter, they implemented station 16's volunteer policy and then the Fire chief and all the high ups state "They did not agree with the hours program, however you all decided on this" They were forced to do this and the higher ups are claiming they do not agree with it when they indeed enforced it behind the scenes.
Also people claim there is a "lack of leadership" at station 2.....Well here's an idea, there are only 3 line officers (1 of which is out on medical) and they can't do everything. People have to put forth the effort to want to be there and if they do not then they need to resign. Plain and simple.
They also need to address the bullying that goes on in that building and the back stabbing and talking about people behind their back, or purposely looking for ways to cause issues for certain people just because one or two individuals do not like certain members. It's allowed to happen so how do you expect the bullies to stop when they are allowed to do it?!?!?
The chief requires "in house staffing" took away their pagers alerting for calls unless it is a fire. Whats the point in that? That is not what a volunteer is. Yes I know times are changing but you can't require people to do "in house staffing" only and expect them to show up when it's never been that way. You want free employees is what you want.
The issues are not just that volunteers do not show up, its A LOT of issues on ALL sides that are not addressed.
January 26, 2018 at 9:57 AM
There is no place on the Eastern Shore of Maryland or Delaware that requires "in house staffing." This is some Bullsh!t that Rick Hoppes and Jake Day came up with to run off the volunteer. OCFD does in house staffing, but they also have volunteers that respond from home.
The sooner the City gets rid of Hoppes and the dregs under him the better off the fire department will be. Get rid of him, the Deputy Chiefs, the paid assistant chiefs and the captains and lieutenants. They were all promoted under Hoppes and they are all the ass kissers that continue the hostility.

Rick Hoppes has never fought fire because he is a coward. He left the volunteers at Station 2 after Francis Darling hired him and he hated the volunteers ever since, especially the volunteers in the surround departments like Delmar, Fruitland, Hebron and Parsonsburg. Every time he had to ride the engine he sucked up to the chief so that he could get detailed doing office work.
Rick Hoppes is the only person in the history of the Salisbury Fire Department that went through the ranks without ever sitting for a test. He got good at sharpening his ass kissing skills with Ireton and Day. To bad we don't have any intelligent people on the City Council like Debbie Campbell, Terry Cohen and Tim Spies. They saw through his lame ass.

Yes, that was when Fat A$$ Rick Hoppes was at the training center eating instead of working. He also got the red tomato soup van to drive back and forth to home and work, the one with his daughters' car seat in it. Fat lazy slob. He worked harder to get promoted to caption by blowing Stephen K. Brezler so he wouldn't have to take a promotional exam. Funny thing is Brezler now lives at Nutters and wrote nasty letters about the Station 1 volunteers saying he was representing the Home Owners Association at Nutters.

If this is Rick Hoppes you should know about laziness. Look at you, you fat slob.
Someone mentioned Darrin Scott. He is an embarrassment to the City of Salisbury but Fat A$$ Hoppes still promoted Scott right up to the high rank of Deputy Chief even though Darrin Scott didn't even sit for a promotional exam for the position. Hoppes gave Darryn the duty to handle all promotional exams in the department so that they could control who they wanted to be promoted. When one of the Hoppes clicks buddies didn't do well on the exam he got promoted anyway and the ones that scored highly on the promotional exam was told they didn't do well so they could promote who they wanted. Not only that, no one ever gets to see what their scores are. Wink, Wink.
Hoppes is making sure his little buddy Darryn Scott is getting a new Ford Explorer to drive to a friends driveway and Delaware to sleep in a camper in the driveway. Since he lost his home. That's right Darryn got kicked to the curb by his ex because his package wasn't working so she had to sample some of the athletic trainer at the gym. Poor Darryn.
Darryn is so dumb that is finally took him six times to pass the realtor licensing exam and then he gave that up because he was a failure at that as well. Darryn is so Dumb but yet he is the 3rd ranking fire officer in the Salisbury Fire Department thanks to his buddy Rick Hoppes. His stupidity was pointed out numerous times by the owner of this blog who posted pictures with Darryn right up to the fire scene with absolutely no protective fire gear on which is against SFD Policy. Darrin didn't get written up or lose pay either, but many others in the Salisbury Fire Department have.
It would be nice to have an audit done to see the discrepancies in discipline within the racist Salisbury Fire Department.
There’s a tremendous difference in self dispatching to a preset list of EMS calls in YOUR district with YOUR fire apparatus to provide additional personnel or resources to YOUR EMS personnel as opposed to an outlying station like say, I don’t know Willard’s. putting Station 13 as mutual aid on their fires and bypassing all the stations that are physically located between Station 8 (Willard’s) and Station 13 to do it.
Station 13 (or whatever it’s called) IS NOT a fire station. Your building (Bingo hall) is located within the Salisbury Fire District. You are not a part of the Salisbury Fire Department (or any other department) and do not serve the Salisbury Fire District (or any other Fire District) so you are not a resource that is bypassed. You are not a resource at all...
1-the volunteers should still have pagers and still be dispatched.
2-the duty crew engines (closest one) should still automatically respond
3-if the collies get out they can turn the other engines be around
4-if they don’t the call is still covered
5-how can the volunteers that remain (Station 2) be meeting their membership requirements and LOSAP) if they aren’t responding (documented), aren’t staffing regularly (documented) and aren’t being alerted (their argument) ??????
If they are still collecting retirement and LOSAAp isn’t that fraud?

Salisbury volunteers ruined themselves by not showing up to calls in addition to a sever lack of leadership within the volunteer portion of the fire department. If engine 1 arrived the crew most always had to led by the hand to handle the simplest of tasks. Station 1 has never had any firemen to speak of ever. Yes you were always assigned RIT because you were the last ones to the fire coming across town and most always the fire was out when you arrived. No one has run volunteers off but volunteers they have self destructed in the last 5 plus years. I will blame a good portion of this on Mark Cotter with his stupid hours program wanting volunteers to come staff apparatus. Sorry volunteers don't need to staff apparatus volunteers to respond back to the station when fires a dispatched to bring manpower and equipment to the scene.

WTF did you just say?? And who TF are you? You did get some of that right about Mark Cotter but it sounds like you have been listening to that Lazy Fat Rick Hoppes.

There’s a tremendous difference in self dispatching to a preset list of EMS calls in YOUR district with YOUR fire apparatus to provide additional personnel or resources to YOUR EMS personnel as opposed to an outlying station like say, I don’t know Willard’s. putting Station 13 as mutual aid on their fires and bypassing all the stations that are physically located between Station 8 (Willard’s) and Station 13 to do it.

Can you please provide that "preset list of EMS calls" in YOUR district with YOUR fire apparatus to provide additional personnel or resources to YOUR EMS personnel?
Yes, please show us that preset list and who gave you the authority to do so?
As a taxpayer, I have no problem with the Station #1 Volunteers responding Countywide as a special mutual aid fire company. I listen to the fire departments on my radio scratching on calls all day long throughout the county. "Central to Station 3 or any Station 3 units responding to the P.I on the bypass acknowledge?" "Central to Station 6 or any Station 6 units responding to Worwic for the automatic alarm acknowledge?" "Central to Station 5 or any Station 5 units responding to the structure fire in Salisbury acknowledge?" Those are just a few examples that everyone hears all day long. Not actual calls, but you get the picture.
Those kinds of calls happen all day long, every day. I think it would be a great idea to have this specialized station responding to certain stations on certain calls and it shouldn't be limited to just structure fires. Calls such as MVC's, structure fires, rescues, entrapments, medical assists for lifting. We all know there are 400 and 500 pounders throughout the county. Heck in the future Hoppes will be one of them.
It's either allow the Station 13 volunteers to respond or the county takes over all fire and EMS calls in the county by creating a countywide fire department.

There seems to be some belief that the fire chief has to tell every unit exactly what to do. Departments like Salisbury have standard operating procedures of what to do on a scene. Just because you didn't hear it on your scanner doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Oh, Ok. Since you say so Mr. Paid Farman.
The sooner Wicomico County leaders create the Fire Commission and a County Emergency Services Department, the better off we will all be. Not just 911 dispatching, but Fire/EMS, Emergency Management, 911, Airport Fire and Rescue, Paramedic chase units, Special Operations and HazMat.
Bob Culver, what the Hell are you waiting for.

"Tri is Bi" Bwahahahahaha! I knew it.
I heard Hoppes was Bi as well and they were an item behind closed doors. No wonder Hoppes has an office with a locked door with blinds. There's a lot more going on than most people don't even want to imagine.
