Thinking the mandatory standards and changes are thought up and imposed by the chief alone, again to push out volunteers. <br />Do you guys not have internet? Do you guys never continue training and taking classes in the fire service? (I already know the answer to that ) <br />The standard and changes imposed are brought about by broader changes in the fire service, which is much bigger than any one department or individual. <br />The changes and standards exist for a reason and whether or not you want to be held to them they are concensus standard that would apply in court. <br />No none is scheming to run out volunteers, you actually are needed. You need to actually step up to the plate and understand the bigger picture of the fire service you are a part of. <br />It's not about you. It's about the citizen and the department evolving to be a better organization and provide a better service.

I try to be the better one and let certain things go. This doesn't mean that the bad person wins, it just means that I am tired of fighting about things that I can't control.

What really would make more sense than putting comments on this site, which really gets you nowhere, would be to show that you are better than this.

That the same as every church out there where the people in the congregation bad mouth and talk about everyone else behind their back because they are different and everyone thinks they are better than everyone else. That is soooo Christian-like and Godly. You are nothing but a hypocrite who has shown their true colors in a public forum. You can't control me with weak minded beliefs and veiled threats of "offending God". Go back to believing that your "magic invisible man in the sky" will protect you from everything. How many children have been tortured, killed and sexually abused in the name of "God"? The list of Priests, Pastors and Youth Counselors who have sexually assualted children under the cover of "God" is both frightening and sickening. But, keep drinking the kool-aid.

You people amaze me thanks for the laugh.<br />April 6, 2017 at 11:39 AM<br /><br />For the record the Vollies in the City of Salisbury ran every fire call in their respective districts(except Tri Townsends own Station 16) without the help of the paid firemen. The only thing the paid firemen did was start up the fire trucks so they would be running when the vollies showed up. The only paid crew was at Station 16 or Headquarters. During the day Monday through Friday Station's 2 and 1 had a duty crew from 8am to 5pm. Station 2 had a house man around the clock to feed the dog. The house man also started up the fire trucks if a call came in and at night they pulled their cot out and got ready for bed when the sun went down. Eventually the volunteers go rid of the houseman because all he was, was a hateful person that hated volunteers. All for of them were useless and lazy. Ironically Rick Hoppes' relative Greg Hoppes was one of them. He was lazy and eventually got promoted to Lieutenant and granted an invented lazy position. <br /><br />Station 2 would have a structure fire in their district at night and the paid firemen were not dispatched. If help was needed the volunteer officer in charge requested Delmar, Parsonsburg or Station 1. During the day when the paid fire duty crew was on and a mutual aid call came out for Fruitland, Parsonsburg, Hebron, Delmar or any other district, all they did was pull the fire trucks out for the volunteers to go`assist with the mutual aid volunteer companies. You see, the paid firemen really weren't needed and they hated that. They hated the fact that they were only there to supplement the volunteers. <br /><br />Then came Baltimore County reject Stephen K. Brezler(author of the city/county fire service study/agreement). Reject Fire Chief Brezler was hired by Reject Mayor Barrie Tilghman and he only lasted about 2 years. Steve Brezler hated volunteers and he was ran out of the Baltimore County Fire Department and Barrie Tilghman was stupid enough to hire him. Steve Brezler was the beginning of the era of paid fire officers scheming to run off the volunteers for a fully paid fire department. By then the Salisbury Fire Department already started responding on car accidents to increase the call volumes to justify the paid fire jobs. This was never done before in Salisbury unless it was a reported car accident with entrapment. The fire department never ever responded on car accidents because they were not needed and never were. The City leaders should demand that the fire crews stop responding on car crashes like they used to do it because again it isn't needed. <br /><br />Then Brezler started sending the paid fire crews to assist the volunteer fire departments on mutual aid calls and make the volunteers just stand by. This wasn't receptive of the volunteers. Then he took the paid assistant chief off the engine and put them in an expensive SUV paid for by the volunteers county funds and approved by Barrie Tilghman. This was something else that the volunteers didn't like because he gave a new job to the 4 paid assistant chiefs making them in charge of the volunteers and the responded city wide on calls that were not needed. Hoppes was behind this move. Now you see why Station 2 wanted to secede? <br /><br />Then David See and Rick Hoppes carried his torch of volunteer hatred. They continued to invent self imposed standards to make it difficult for the volunteers with a long term goal of eradicating the volunteers in the City of Salisbury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-78818694842270515892017-04-07T01:03:42.697-04:002017-04-07T01:03:42.697-04:00Joe I am so glad you posted the truth about this c...Joe I am so glad you posted the truth about this creep from the City Fire Department.
