    I wouldn't dig the hole any deeper. I'd be careful about saying you aren't on good terms with them thats why you didnt put them down. Looks like youre hiding two employers that you dont want the FD talking to, and those are the two theyll probably WANT to talk to. Estimate the dates and just say they were off the books and you werent sure how they would go over on an application. And in the future put it all down!!! I bet you wont make this mistake again. Good luck.

    we've always sent new guys on D.O.A calls to the street address to funeral homes. They wouldn't realize it until they actually got there. It backfired when there was actually a D.O.A. at a funeral home and the jokes flew from the "seasoned" tour that was working. Another one they mixed up the address (which was two numbers lower from the funeral home), they simply left the area when in fact there was a DOA a few doors up from the funeral home, the Sergeant on scene was calling for the dispatched unit who had to turn around from returning to the diner.

    We did a make a wish a few years ago where a kid wanted to be a super hero who "saved the day" with police escort and everything. It was the most amazing and rewarding experience of my career and it will stick with me always. Wish we could do more of that!

    While I may not have several thousand posts or hundreds of popularity points, I've been around this place long enough to know that had this been a FF under that bus this incident would be a non issue. Being that it was a PO cast in a positive light by the media, his actions are scrutinized and criticized by the "brothers" on here.
    There is an inherent disdain for cops on this site, especially when it comes to them performing any sort of rescue work. It is plainly obvious to see. How come there is zero criticism on the part of FD using spreaders to lift the bus? Wasn't too long ago when ESU was crucified by many on here for attempting and failing a lift with spreaders. Granted these guys used cribbing and took their time but nonetheless the majority on here condemned that technique as a whole... When cops were doing it.
    With that being said, good job to the PO who put himself in harms way to comfort a fellow human being and FD for safely extricating the victim. Hopefully she makes a full recovery.

    That hour or so you guys took out of your own lives to give to this kid will mean a lifetime worth of memories to him! Outstanding, job well done.

    It's like the old saying, you get what you pay for. If we(public services) start doing things for free because it's what's morally right, we won't be around very long. The people will fight and say, as was stated above, he didn't pay and still got protection, so im not going to pay. Our money will dry up faster than you can blink an eye.

    Watch Sr when he shakes someones hand, he doesnt look them in the eye, always looks away. You just can't trust anyone like that!

    Journal News Article
    "Reached by telephone Wednesday evening, Daniele's wife of 15 years, Carol Daniele, was still dealing with the tragic news, but said her husband was a wonderful father to the couple's two sons, ages 10 and 13." (courtesy Journal news)
    This gentleman died in a horrible accident at about 3pm, it appears from the article that the reporter contacted his wife (of 15 years and father of her 2 children) later that evening, I won’t assume a time but shortly thereafter 3pm and asked for a comment. What do you think her comment would be? What in God's name would possess a reporter to call a victim's wife like this? This is getting out of hand and they need to exercise a little courtesy and restraint. Next they'll have a microphone shoved in the family's face at the funeral, burying a 48 y/o father and husband. UNBELIEVABLE!

    Blue is a level of response. There are multiple. Each level brings different amounts of response. That's as far as I'll go as not to "lay all our cards on the table".
