We could just leave them where they are and make an example out of them. "And if you will look to your left you will see what stupid looks like!"

But no I jest, we have a job to do and at this time being stupid is not a crime (yet), so saddel up boys and girls and head out, we've got a job to do!

Depends on the stupid, if it's a DUI/DWI, leave 'em. I hate those idiots. My Loo from Dalton Eng. Co. 2, Ronnie "Duke" Dyer, was killed by a b*****d DUI. The worst part is, the ********* plead guilty and got 6 years in prison, and got out early on parole with good behavior. There's no justice in this world. Anyway, enough of my soap box rant, sorry.

15 Grass & Wildland Fires in the last 18 hours...thanks to a wise guy that likes to see us run our butts off. Much too dry for this kind of crap.

No homes lost, no one hurt, but if we catch this nut, we'll cash him in for the Human Biological Studies Program at the University. That at least is a little more humane when they separate him limb from limb.

As Stupid as this sounds...

I'm in the lead again!

Glad nobody was hurt! TRY to take it easy, as much as you can.

I saw the video file from the 401/London area this morning on the Weather Network. Pretty nasty stuff. Even saw a couple of snow plows kinda pointed the wrong way, and tractor/trailer units all discombobulated all over the roads. Appatenly local authorities are giving aid to the stranded folks, by helping to load fuel etc and helping to dig them out.

Roads here abouts are pretty good, but it snowed about 4 inches over night, and a lot of the outlying areas are cut off due to drifted snow. There is a report that Rte 26 between Collingwood and Horseshoe Valley Ski Resort has been closed due to drifted snow - apparently over 8 feet in some areas!

Its bad enough around here when the fark'n snow plow comes along and "deposits" a 4 foot wide by 3 foot high berm of ice/snow mix into my driveway!!!!! If ever I catch that sombee-aatch....... GGGRRRRR

Whenand if you catch the SOB all you need Chief is an old stump, hammer and nails, a rusty knife and some lamp oil! I promise you after that the old boy will never play with fire or an old rusty knife, almost forgot and himself, ever again!

Sounds like that kids Movie "Snow Day!"

[firefightinirish217]

I wish I could have an experience like the movie "Elf". Ok, really I'd just like to hang out with Will Farrell for a day or so.

Freakin' weather people forecasted "possible" sleet, and not to worry, very little if any accumulation. Prediction was 40%. My arse. We got freezing rain, sleet, then 3 inches of the white stuff inside 3 hours.

How in the hell can weather people get it so damn wrong and still collect a paycheck. If I'm wrong, I have hell to pay for it. Much less, risk losing my job.
Am I bent out of shape, you bet. It wasn't a pleasant night.

At least I'm home and here now, and in the lead.

Sorry to hear that you had a bad night....... Had a few over the years, like trying to get a Pumper right side up and back on the road before it Froze in place in the Swamp....... That was about 20 years ago, and still one of the Coldest jobs I've ever been on..........

I'm sure I'll get a few more that will make the other ones seem like kids play in the garden.

Thank goodness we don't have swamps, just lakes and rivers.

Merry Christmas everyone. It is hard to believe that Christmas 2010 is next week. May all of you have a safe, happy holiday with family and frineds. Whether you are in the fire service, military or police (or in some cases all of the above),

Thank you for doing what you do. You always have and always wil have my utmost respect and admiration.

Well we made it back home from Raleigh. Had a lot of fun seeing my family. Mom & Dad really enjoyed their time with my daughter. But. . . . . it sure is nice to home. Oh yea, and back in the lead!

This time last year I had just landed in Portland, Maine form Al Asad, Iraq. I was only two hours away from seeing my wife and girls after 12 months of being in Iraq. It doesn't seem like so long ago.

I know how you feel brother. I love going back to Georgia to visit the family and let them see our girls, but I sure do miss Havelock, NC while I'm gone. I never thought I'd see anywhere but Dalton, GA as home. But Havelock has really grown on us. I think we just might stay in North Carolina when I get out of the Corps.

Good deal, but . . . . . . You did see that NC ranked #1 in jobs lost this past week and that we have 10% in unemployment. Well it's nice to be #1 in something!

Ahhh, I still have 21 months left in the USMC, hopefully things will be better then. If not maybe things will be better after January 20th, 2013, haha.

(For those who don't get it, that's when we elect a capitalist president back into office, DOWN WITH THE SOCIALIST PIGS!)

At least according to Raleigh, NC is behing GA in unemployment. According to Raleigh the unemployment rate in NC is at 9.7%, in GA it is 10.1%. I was gonna try and get a job at Atlanta F.D., but I have been told that they shut down 3 or 4 stations in '09 and layed off a bunch of recruits before they even finished probie school.
