Nice job, but it always seems like there is someone who refuses to use their waist straps............. I just don't get it........

Perhaps there is no need to wear a waist strap when the fire is out and it is time to take a break?

Oh my god!!!!!! This article is just what I was talking about with some younger members in my Volunteer house last week. This is so true, and I agree. Just because it says 100% Volunteer on the fire house, or 97% for P.V. does not mean the responsibility is less. You still have a job to do no matter who you are. NO EXCUSES!!!!! I heard a quote from F.D.N.Y. Capt. Metcalf SQ 252 "you have to be 100%.....100% of the time".

IF you can't do the job the right way, or just can't do the job anymore.... be an associate member!!

Agreed there fella.

Everyone needs to pitch in. Your pagers go off for the same call and equipment responds to the same scene. Stop the whining and work together.

Gamewell I am not to sure where you are coming from. The rules and regulations, standard of training, and requirements in my Volly department have been in affect for at least 15 years, and I have been in the Fire Service in that Department for 22 years. So I don't see how any litigation could take place. The rules haven't changed. I GUESS I AM A LITTLE LOST WITH THE COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE MADE.

The members of my Department know what is expected as far as training and how to conduct themselves on the fire scene. If they don't follow those rules, then whatever consequences come from there actions is on them.

Now your just dating youurself.

Yep........all of the newest equipment here!

Looks like BoBo is getting ready to transmit a 2nd.

Dutchess Junction car 2 was at Glenham watching the race when someone ran over banging on the window and they looked out and said they had work.

Overall a great stop for Glenham (They have the best response time for any volunteer FD in Dutchess) and being across the street from the fire helps. They did have one very well done pizza pie sitting in the flower pot out front.

being across the street you better have the best response time!
