Nice job by this paid on-call firefighter. Ever been part of a firefighter marriage proposal? Tell us about it.
The two met in an EMT class they attended together nearly four years ago.

Brian S cool deal. My issue,, did you really need to put "paid on call firefighter"? How about this instead: "Nice job by this firefighter. Ever been part of a firefighter marriage proposal? Tell us about it." Sounds more brotherly that way doesn't it? Congrats to the firefighter regardless.

Volunteer Firefighters I hear you, Brian. We don't mean it as a segregation thing. As this page is for and about volunteer firefighters, I like to call them out when it makes sense--especially for the good things they do. Keep safe.

Pat Kappler It seems as though, the police need to also respond to all fire department calls, in order to provide protection for our firefighters.

Do you agree or disagree with the decision to let him return to duty?
Officials said Chief Kenny Steiner could return to duty but only in an administrative role, but he's been on active fire scenes and talking to the media as chief.

Dennis Polfer Innocent until proven guilty.
On a legal stance you cannot fire someone over hearsay. It must be proven in a court of law that the allegations are in fact true.

The plan to acquire vests was in the works; the chief is still drafting use policies for the new gear.
A local business donated six vests and helmets to the department in the wake of the fatal Planned Parenthood shooting.

Andrew Stanford What the hell kind of world are we living in that Firefighter and EMS must now where bullet proof vests.... Shit needs to change
Daniel Kristoff If you give me a vest and helmet, the scene is not safe and I will not enter it. Simple as that. Police can secure the scene, until then I'll sit my happy ass in the squad or rig.
Some of these are definitely worth a second look, especially the last one about safe roof ops.
Best clips include a viral video of a ladder truck going through an intersection and a firefighter making a graphic drunk driving music video.

The county has 21 independent volunteer departments and can ill-afford to leave them behind in the radio transition.
They found they didn't have the statutory authority to use county funds to buy and donate items to a non-government entity.

Mick Hunsley They need to find the funds !! If someone says that they are not equal to the paid departments who are getting the fundings, I will puch them in the face !!
Dylan Tidwell Buy the radios and issue them to the departments. And either do or make an audit on each department. Make them accountable for each radio. Keep the radios on the county inventory system. That way they would be on loan instead of donating them.
This civil suit alleges the fire chief did not properly fight the fire over bad blood with the property owner stemming from a previous vehicle crash.
Bryan Calderwood claims Frank Ross failed to take action to get more water to fight a garage fire in 2013; he says he also didn't communicate to other chiefs and failed to protect personal property.
