    No problem Bob. I understand exactly what you're saying about one person having a bad day. I've seen plently of fights between ESU and FDNY and have also broken a few up myself. I've personally never had any issue with the FD on any scene. They have a job to do and I have a job to do. Pissing matches and arguing only keeps us there longer and no job is being done...

    If anyone on this BB responded to this fire, I would be very careful to what you say on this board or anywhere else. I am "almost" positive, there will be a lawsuit.

    I smell subpoena. Shut up.

    Seth, take charge.

    I agree with Get the roof - we might not want to get into this one on such a public forum.

    To address Bob directly. Why do they have to shut down a roadway for an investigation? If a roadway is completely shut down for an accident investigation, the accident then involved a fatality, a person seriously injured and likely to die or a crime. At that point, in all three scenarios, it's now a crime scene. Just like a shooting in a house or the street, we have to tape the area off and not allow anyone to corrupt the scene. If you continue to allow traffic through the area, then vital evidence in the crime scene might be lost. Until I became a supervisor I criticized Accident Investigations Units for just closing down the road, but now I've gone through more training, probably matured a little, and understand why.

    All accidents are treated like "crime scenes", because the PO has to conduct an investigation into what has happened. Interviewing drivers, witnesses and completing PAR's.

    As a volunteer firefighter and a police officer, there's nothing better than a ladder truck on the Major Deegan! I cannot argue those points and will definitely not argue that scene safety is not important. It's paramount! But as others have said in their posts, we all have to answer to someone and sometimes unnecesarily shutting down a roadway will cause more problems behind the scenes. The NJ case also sounds like some large egos bumping to me as well, but the PO/Trooper on scene is in charge.

    When I saw the title on the main page, I have to say I was a little nervous. Having police experience in Georgia and now with the NYPD (total 10 years) I see a major difference in public opinion regarding use of force between the south and the north. It's very nice to see everyone, at least on this website, is in agreement that this was a good shooting. I'm sure if a NYC newspaper ran this story the New York ACLU will be on 95 south heading to Florida (don't anyone tell 'em to slow down in Virginia either!). Thanks for the good opinions!

    yeah $118,400 for the year working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week...

    I agree with Fabolous8779. I have a friend (Homicide Detective-DeKalb County PD, Georgia) who went over years ago when they first asked for volunteers. It was a 7 day work week and he never saw so many homicides. He terminated the contract early and returned to the US with a fraction of the money. Not a good job to take!

    I agree with everything you say and have also seen many poor supervisors! This person is obviously not a leader... A leader, whether it be situational, authoritative, etc... will know to never berate their personnel and will know how to handle situations privately. I'm a supervisor in law enforcement and volunteer EMS. It's a shame you've unfortunately had to experience a bad boss, but learn from their obvious mistakes and move on.

    As far as approaching them and their style: I would first see if there's someone in the agency they trust who might be able to speak with them privately, or if not, you'll have to do it on your own. You might be able to address the reasons why people are quitting in a monthly meeting or whenever your group gets together and see if someone addresses the problem in the open forum. Good luck!
