In the area of Market Street and South Division Streets. What happened to that railing?

Body has been recovered.

Probably left over from Folk Festival. Must be really ripe by now.

You Know. This person was someone who may have a family. brothers/sisters/ kids.
Show some respect.
This situation is not going away until they put railings along the sidewalks. When i was down there taking a walk a few weeks back, I had to move away from the edge and against the land. I'm not young, and my balance felt like I would fall in. And I did fall into the park river, way back in the 60's, just walking along the edge by the band stand fishing.

Somebody went to the folk fest and was bored to death.

Did any rainbow cupcakes jump in the river to do a rescue ? Or did they leave it up to us Patriots to do the Recovery .

They will be counted as a folk festival antendee before Being hauled to the morgue. Gotta make sure that it gets reported as a huge success ( even if we have to count a corpse)

Removing that railing was a mistake, regardless of this incident, whatever the cause.

If they would have counted that body during the folk festival the attendance would have doubled!

Part I

I'm sitting here off duty listening to my portable radion and Wicomico Central dispatches Stations 1, 2, 16 and Salisbury EMS to South Division Street and West Market Street for a reported Water Rescue at approximately 1238 hours.

E-16-1
PM - 1
PM 2
PM 16
Truck 1
Dive 1
AC 1
DC 1
DC 2

Central advised units responding they have a "Body in the water." "Nothing out of Station 2."

No response out of Station 2, Frampton advises Central to disregard. Of course there are no volunteers, Hoppes, Tull, Gladwell, Frampton, Records, Cherry Cheeks, David Black, Jake Day and Muir Boda

Assistant Chief 1(Frampton) arrived on scene and said "1 in the water."

Deputy Chief 2(Gladwell) arrived on scene and established "Command."

Two additional EMS Calls are being dispatched to "Salisbury EMS", 1 at the Civic Center for a Stroke and 1 at MAC Incorporated for a Subject Fallen.

Paramedic 16 took the EMS call at the Civic Center.

"Command"(Frampton) told Central to go to next due for the next EMS call. Fruitland Station 3 dispatched to MAC Incorporated. Wait I thought Jimmy Gladwell just established Command? Those 2 idiots are fighting over who is going to be "Command."

"Command to Engine 16-1 can you go get the fireboat?" That would be the small boat which is Marine 16.

Engine 16-1 is responding to get Marine 16.

Someone gets on the radio and asks Command if the boat can get underneath the bridge. Frampton says "I think so, it looks like the tide is low."

"Utility 16-1 to command do you want us to go get the boat?" "Utility 16-1 to AC-1 do you want us to get the fireboat?"

Station 1 dispatched for a delayed ambulance response to MAC Inc. to assist Fruitland ambulance. Um... There are NO Volunteers at Station 1 and Truck 1 is at the water rescue so who is going to assist Fruitland's ambulance on the delayed ambulance response?? No one.

Command(Frampton) told Central to disregard the Fire Engine delayed ambulance response to assist on the ambulance calls. So, if you can disregard the two fire engine medical assists on these two ambulance calls then why does Central have to dispatch for all medical assists for delayed ambulance responses?

Fruitland Paramedic A-3 responded to MAC Inc.

Central advised Command that Station 1 with the second EMS call at 124 South Blvd, Crazy Louies Pawn Shop for a Sick Subject. That makes 3 ambulance calls in the Salisbury Fire District while most of Salisbury's paid firemen on duty are at the "Water Rescue" which is actually a body recovery.

Central told PM A3 to divert to Crazy Louies

Station 3 dispatched to Salisbury for a subject fallen at MAC. Inc. Why dispatch them when they scratch all the time. Isn't Station 6 closer or just as close? Fruitland barely got out for the first call and hardly ever get out for the second calls.

Paramedic A-3 on scene at Crazy Louies.

Engine 16 is responding to Progress Circle for the delayed Ambulance Response without being dispatched.

Anonymous said...

Part II

Command asked Central if DNR has been notified. Central advised they were notified but weren't going to respond unless requested. Any body of water is the DNR's jurisdiction so why wouldn't they respond to investigate??

Station 3 and Station 6 EMS dispatched for the subject fallen at MAC Inc.

"Engine 16 on scene FF Waller(Volunteer Wannabe) is Progress Circle Command." Sad when Corn Waller is the only one available to "Command" an incident. They were not dispatched and Assistant Chief Frampton had already told Central to disregard dispatching anymore for a delayed ambulance response. Engine 16 should have been returned to service.

EMS 7(Pittsville) is responding to Station 6 to pick up the amb.

B-6(Parsonsburg) advises the call is covered upon the arrival of EMS. On the arrival of EMS 7? Parsonsburg can't even staff their own ambulance and they have to wait for the county paid paramedic coming from Pittsville. It wasn't even a call that a parmaedic was needed. Pathetic!

Station 3 Fruitland scratched again on their second call for them to MAC Inc. And these are the same people that are fighting to keep the Station 13 Volunteers from going into service. It's obvious with this incident and many others that the help from Station 13 is much needed. Salisbury, Fruitland, Pittsville and Parsonsburg scrathes the most and they are fighting very hard to stop the county executive from putting the Station 13 volunteers in service.

"Progress Circle Command(Fireman Wannabe Waller) to Central patient contact."

"Progress Circle Command(Not FF Waller) to Central which ems unit is responding?" Central advised "B-6 upon arrival of EMS 7 coming from Pittsville.

EMS 7 arriving at Station 6 at 12:58

Paramedic B-6 is responding with 2 with a 15 minute ETA at 12:59 hours

Paramedic A-3 arrived at PRMC with the sick subject from Crazy Louies. WTH is a sick subject?? Why is a "Sick Subject" more important than a subject fallen?

"Engine 16-1 is available at 1303 hours"

"Progress Circle Command to B-6 we have a patient refusal here if you want to continue you can." Central acknowledged at 1304 hours.

"Deputy Chief 1(Darrin Scott) to Central can you transfer that ambulance to Station 1 for a standby?" LOL, No one at Station 1 so they are going to have to just sit in the parking lot until they are released or dispatched again.

"Progress Circle Command to central under control, Engine 16-1 is available." Acknowledged at 1305. Waller said "Correction Uh Engine 16." Good move Corn Waller!

Anonymous said...

Part III

"Paramedic B-6 is out at Box 1." WTF is Box 1? Acknowledged at 1314. Idiot, it's Station 1 not Box 1.

Rob Frampton and Jimmy Gladwell, two newly promoted clowns to Assistant Chief and Deputy Cheif. WTH is going on with that insanity?? These are 2 of the biggest a$$ kissers in the history of the Salisbury Fire Department. And guess who promoted them? John Tull, another big a$$ kisser who got where he is now by kissing more a$$ than all three of them. Even after he stabbed Hoppes in the back, Hoppes still kept him on and promoted him to Deputy Chief.

"Division Street Command under control." Finally, over an hour later.

Now look at all that apparatus that responded to a body floating in the water?(Speaking of that, what happened to those safety rails that Jake Day took down." Eleven pieces of apparatus and over 20 paid fireman. That's not including Engine 16-1 that Corn Waller took out.

Now tell me again how many paid firemen do they need to hire? By the sound of things, it looks like they need to hire and staff more ambulances.

Salisbury took two ambulances and a Paramedic Chase Unit out of service from county volunteer stations because they made a body recovery into a major incident. It's a good thing that those ambulances weren't needed in their own territory. Now is Salisbury going to reimburse the county for those 3 units that had to respond to Salisbury's fire district? They should. Hope that's part of the Fire Service Agreement. FSA if you are SFD Cool!

I am so glad that I am not a paid fireman in Salisbury.

Jake has ordered to let the body continue downstream out of city limits to make sure it doesn't end up in his crime statistics.

It won't be long before someone sues the City and WINS! So much disregard for human life - poorly run Fire/EMS and no rails around riverwalk. One would think whoever insures the City would have a problem with all of this. Maybe someone should let them know just how incompetent the City truly is.

If there is ONE thing you can ALWAYS count on...it is this...if something is screwed up...Jimmie “Bootsy” Gladwell is involved. That clown couldn’t find his butt with both hands. Simply by using his lips, he has advanced through the ranks. Wow. Incompetent clown.

Total incompetence all the way around. To 3:18 please continue to let the citizens of Salisbury know just what SFD has become under John Tull and our darling mayor Day.

Obviously just a disgruntled 13 reject. You couldn't make it as a paid firefighter, hell, you couldn't even make it as a bad volunteer. Turn the scanner off and get a job, dork.

And Jake Day continues the insanity by hiring John Tull as his fire chief. The same daily bullshit and wasted tax dollars while the taxpayers and citizens suffer. How many people have to continue to die before Jake Day, Jack Heath, Muir Boda and Jim Ireton are run out of office?

Says the paid wanna be fireman. SFD is nothing but a joke. Volunteers were run out a long time ago, paid staff act like this is a circus....Oh wait, it is. Don't get me wrong there are bad apples everywhere. When will the "13 reject" comments end? Or the bashing your own people? The high ups in the fire department can PUBLICLY post ignorant comments belittling former (and even current!) SFD members on social media and not a thing is done about it. Last time I checked the City of Salisbury has a social media policy, that every single person signed but that obviously is not enforced since people from the bottom all the way to the top (assistant chiefs) can bash people online and nobody even bats an eye. It gets old, and you wonder why you don't have any volunteers...................

SPD closed it as litter in the river call. As for the guy who fell in the river in the 60's sounds like you should buy a helmet and stay away from sharp objects.
