"Time To Respond" - Philly area paper comments on Response Times of Volunteers

[PFDTruck18]

Whatever happened with the attempts to cut staffing at Centre Square? I met a few guys from 33s at a benefit for one of your members killed in Iraq I do believe. All gentlemen, that I met anyway.

It has been a year or so now that they laid two members of the career staff off due to budget reasons. One of them was rehired after John died. They still have a total of 4 members, plus several part timers.

Not sure if they are trying to hire anyone else. I just know that they are advertising for part-timers.

PD HQ?

Our officers drive their personal vehicles to the station.
They don't have lights and nobody is allowed to POV.

Well, what I'm trying to get at that there are communities that have deep pockets for law enforcement while it's alright for their VFD's to hold "bake sales" for essential equipment. I guess fear of being assaulted or having something stolen overrides losing everything to fire, getting pinned-in with an MVA or dying of a severe illness. Sometimes you got to say WTF.

I thought that's where you were going with the discussion, and I agree with you. In Ghosthunter's area, Law enforcement is provided by the County Sheriff's office and the State Police. The wait for a PD unit is often (No, make that usually) longer than the wait for a VFD unit. The PD folks that I've met up that way are good people that are spread thin, and yes, some of them are Volunteers with their local VFD. All in All, Police and Fire/EMS are good Folks who serve in an area with limited resources.........

Gentlemen, I just wanted to say that in addition to this public apology, Mr. Hoseheadmaps also issued what appears to be a sincere apology via PM. Looks like he wrote the PM prior to making this public apology. I just wanted to give him the credit he is due for making the apology. I thank you sir, and accept your apology. I wish you well in your endeavors.

IMHO, he also managed to get in another new plug for his business. That and the other post under his new alias don't lead me to believe that he's all that sincere about it...

i even e-mailed the web team to have the post removed so it won't linger on the thread.

Here is what I find really funny:

1st:

Hoseheadmaps starts posting like crazy right after Trotter gets banned for life. If you look at Hoseheads posting history he has not posted in over a year, but as soon as HotTrott gets the boot, he starts going crazy. He makes personal attacks using pictures off the web. Isn't it funny hot HotTrott just went on a tangent last month about how easy it is to find that kind of information if you are a Web Security Guy (aka POS Hacker) like himself?

2nd: All over sudden neversaydie69, who has just joined the forum, says that he is sorry for something HE said as hoseheadmaps. I'm sure that even a white hat can figure out that the name "neversaydie" is a joke that HotTrott came up with to show that he cannot be banned. After all he made it perfectly clear that he knows 27 ways around an IP block.

I'm gonna guess that it will take the WT 17 months to realize that Hosehead/Neversaydie/Trotter is back and ban him for another 10 minutes.

[neversaydie69]

Cool I’m now a professional web security expert - thanks for the title upgrade I’m going too have go into work and ask for a raise. Can I use you as a reference? Even FWD will tell you your way off on your conspiracy theory.

bones is right again....thank you my good man- you'll make chief one day just wait it out

[Bones42]

Nah, HoseHeadMaps/neversayday and HotTrotter/BeerGod/CDevoe have very different posting styles.

I'm betting on them being 2 different people.
