Firedog,
Of course YOU wouldn;t see anything wrong with anything another "Junior / Explorer" would do would you?.......
Doesn;t matter who or what someone is doing....IF your in Uniform/Bunker Gear etc.....YOU are rep'ing the Department......
Therfore NO ONE except an authorized Photographer/videographer should be taking any pics......( General Populous exempted, cause we can have no control over them)....
Good vids/ pics or not..A Junior / Explorer shouldn;t be taking them and then posting them..PERIOD..
Wanna take pics...ask the Chief..then turn them INTO the Department for THEM to decide what to post or use...NOT YOUR say...
I'm of the exact opposite mind. Put yourself in the shoes of the property owner. You're standing there watching everything you own go up in smoke, firefighters knocking the windows out of your house and doing what they can to fight the fire. And in the meantime, damaging the house more with the amount of water required. Which, although you fully understand the need, all you see is your property going up in smoke... and some *sshole is standing there in turnout gear taking pictures? When people are angry and upset, they'll often lash out at whatever lightning rod presents itself - and someone who is supposed to be fighting the fire taking pictures sure seems like a decent target. If he doesn't bitch you out at the fire scene, he may bitch you out at through the media later in yet another "those damned firefighters didn't do enough to save my property - hell, they were more interested in taking pictures than fighting the damned fire!" stories.Quote:

If your department tells you to take them down, take them down... especially as an explorer, it will not help to tick off management. As for HIPPA, no patients, no violations

Northern Lights FF. Everywhere I go here you are slamming these kids. BACK OFF In another thread you stated that your dept doesn't have any juniors. NEWS FLASH DUDE YOU ARE YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY. Lay off these kids they are trying to do the right thing usually, your just being a real S.O.B. to them.
