    What opinion are you presenting, an ignorant, ill-informed and judging opinion based on nothing but a picture.

    It should be deleted because we discussed it before and all it did was end it fighting and ignorance. this is a hot button issue that is not going to be solved here. By discussing this here, especially with little to know facts, like in this situation, you are only making a bad situation worse. You are saying is this too far, yada yada yada, but you have no idea what it going on yet you still must criticize. This is grounds for liable and slander if you are wrong, you are defaming the character of this chief and his department without a clue as to what is going on. What we are supposedly discussing is this incident in which you and only you have any idea what is going on, if you do at all. This picture, similar to the one with no waist straps at the working fire can and only will cause problems and tensions that are not needed nor appreciated on this site or in the fire service in general. Your slandering of this department and chief, in my opinion is deplorable and reprehensible, I hope you understand what you are doing.

    You are certainly entitled to your opinion but I think you need to take a breath, this wasn't an attack specific to this department, just an example of a highly debated, and yes "hot button" issue.

    And for the record, I've made it clear from the beginning that none of my information or knowledge is fact, just educated hypotheses based on what I saw.

    How silly of me to forget, I'm not allowed to express my opinion here. My apologies.

    Relax! your getting all bent out of shape; I have a suggestion; why don't we agree to disagree ok?

    I'm not bent out of shape.

    I'm more than happy to agree to disagree, thats the whole point of a forum rolleyes.gif.

    I was just defending my right to post, and the accusation that I had some hidden agenda and that the picture was a fake.

    Precisely; if I had an issue or questions as to why the chiefs car was allegedly in Rhode Island, i'd take it up with the fire district; not on EMT Bravo. Bringing it up here is going to solve nothing. As one poster indicated earlier, we've beat this topic to death. There is nothing to be gained by revisiting it IMHO.

    I have no intention of bringing it up to the Fire District because I honestly have better things to do with my time.

    I snapped a quick photo with my phone and shared it with the users of Bravo, because its a forum for sharing opinions.

    If you aren't interested in continuing this topic, don't reply.

    I'm not trying to solve anything, just sharing a sighting.

    Do I have an interest in every topic on this forum? No. Do I tell the poster of that topic to keep it to themselves because I don't want to read it? No. I simply move onto the next topic.

    Do you have first hand knowledge that its not there on department/district business?

    Your making a lot of assumptions without any evidence other then a picture of a chief's car you allegedly snapped in Rhode Island. For all we know, you might have taken the picture somewhere in Long Island and posted it here just to generate some controversy.

    Either way if you have any issues with it; you should direct your questions/concerns to the Board of Fire Commissioners of the fire district in question.

    Sure, maybe he just happens to be at a University in Rhode Island on department business. Not likely, but anything is possible.

    The bridge in the picture doesn't look like one in Long Island, but believe this picture was taken where ever you wish.

    I'm 100% for the personal use of a Chief's car, just to a certain extent.

    And isn't the point of this forum to express opinions?

    While driving through my University's campus today in Bristol, Rhode Island I spotted this Chief's car from Long Island, New York.

    I am posting this with the frequently asked question, how far is too far for personal travel with a Chief's car.

    I understand that one of the perks/incentives to being a volunteer Chief is personal use of the Chief's vehicle, but to what extent?

    Should the tax payers have to pay for the Chief's son/daughter's transportation to and from college?

    I know that I am assuming he is not paying for the gas used to get back and forth to Rhode Island, but even if the Chief is eating the fuel cost, I doubt he is eating the cost for wear and tear on the vehicle.

    Just was curious to see what everyone's thoughts are on this...

    Last movie I saw was Forgetting Sarah Marshall, something tells me this will be my next movie trip. It'll have to wait two weeks though since I am working the next couple of weekends.

    Do you guys think people would be raving so much about Heath Ledger's performance if he was still alive? Something tells me it wouldn't get as much hype.

    Heath Ledger's performance, dead or alive, was amazing. I think once you see this film you will agree that his death has nothing to do with the hype.
