    (Who cares how many calls they run. Thats no excuse for acting like a-holes, in fact it is a reason to act MORE safely and profesionally. Also I hope its not my family that gets in your way when you're responding to "the big one" since you said you drive more aggresively to calls. Be careful, the first injury you cause because of your aggressive driving may be the last time you act that way.)

    First of all I dont drive recklessly to calls. All I said is I drive alittle more aggresively to structure fires!! Say compared to a AFA.

    From what I have seen and read about Kentland, I think their a great Dep. They run a crazy amount of calls and all of them are Vols. There website shows they run alot of jobs and I know when I driving to a job, I drive just alittle more aggressive. (Im sure Im not the only one)

    So the percentage is much greater for them to be involved in an accident. Not saying you have to be going to a job to be involved in a accident, ecause anytime the rig is on the road something can happen. I know fire truck accidents are a problem across the country not just in PGC.

    As for the allegations against some of there members fighting and turning off air bottles at fires and ripping off facepeices inside fires, I find some of that hard to believe. I saw the video of the Kentland Saergent pushing and screaming at another Dep. member at a fire and that was wrong. Kentlands leadership handled the problem right away and the Saergent was let go from the Department. However I find it hard to believe that anyone can turn off an SCBA bottle on someones back(in a fire). Also I cant see a fellow firefighter ripping off anothers facepiece in a fire. Again this is just my opinion, I was not there!!

    Just a sidenote, from what I hear the PGC leadership does not recognize Kentland33 very much for all the money saved or time given up to serve the people of PGC. Maybe this is the source of alot of the problems.(on both sides)
