WOW...resqstuff...you hit it right on the head...this is the first time i have seen someone call a spade a spade here...time for this crap of pride, and tradition and "we Vol. our time" and we don't have the call volume or the money...all these excuses to stop....these little fifedums and politics is what is causing houses to burn, and people to die..(worst cases).. when career realize that cnty cant all be paid and vol's realize it is time to hire paid and EMS has to hire emt's and PD's and FD's realize it is time to have 60 dispatch all and 60 hires more dispatchers, new radio system that ALL are using...should I go on an on....but this politics and good o'l boy network has to stop using the "what we always have been doing"...let's not let progress be impedeed by 100 yrs of tradition....

It seems funny, how many of you complain if anyone mentions VOLs and the problems with them, but you have no problem bashing the problems with cops or dispatchers, etc. First, **** Career firefighters are all EMTS...that beats EMD anytime, and they HAVE talked people through lifesaving situations! As for the PD dispatch, though I agree...would you dare have the ^(*& to say that if a bunch of cops were on here? just like you get so pee'd and defensive if something is brought up about the problems with the Volunteers. Either you open your mind and eyes and see the problems with ALL ..PD, Career, Vol's , Dispatch etc. or keep them to yourself. This shouldn't be a place where you can hide behind the screen and Bi*&^ but if it comes around to you, you don't want it said!
