I'm also tired of hearing "well we all need to make cuts." The cuts keep coming from the same places...and they affect the most vulnerable. And I don't mean the FF or the PD or the teachers or the public mental/physical health workers are the vulnerable ones, but the people they serve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938798835343717281.post-79675458672593218152012-07-18T21:58:23.201-05:002012-07-18T21:58:23.201-05:00Trina, I'm sorry they do this.

I'm grateful our firefighters aren't 9-5, although for a while, the station was only staffed then and they were at home on call (with the paramedic truck) at night. Somehow, my medically fragile child often likes those wee morning hours. Once as I apologized for getting them up, they said it was almost time to get up anyway. I called the bluff and pointed out it was only 4:30 a.m. and we were already en route to the hospital. Even when they're well compensated, I don't think you can really put a price on a good firefighter/medic. Thanks for sharing your husband so others can be safe.CompatibleWithJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15804848700505881466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938798835343717281.post-12731284137623782072012-07-17T15:10:08.501-05:002012-07-17T15:10:08.501-05:00OMGoodness.

Things aren'...OMGoodness. That had me in tears.<br /><br />Things aren't TOO bad here, although FireMan's dept has had its share of criticisms. No longer allowed to eat at a restaurant together because so many citizens complained, even though they were paying with their own personal money. Talks of not letting them go to the grocery store to get food to cook at the firehouse. Talks of cuts.<br /><br />Unfortunately many citizens don't think a fire dept is worth they $$... until its their house on fire. When will they learn?<br /><br />So sad.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16462664480337935375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938798835343717281.post-12232659549017729282012-07-16T15:46:41.698-05:002012-07-16T15:46:41.698-05:00Detroit just shut down quite a few companies.

Officers were demoted and FFs were let go. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206395438184642707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938798835343717281.post-27197897369441048052012-07-16T15:34:57.354-05:002012-07-16T15:34:57.354-05:00That's terrible, Trina, I can't believe pe...That's terrible, Trina, I can't believe people treat your husband and their firefighters like that! (And they say Southerners are ignorant??)<br /><br />I feel like that card on Pinterest that goes like, "I need to quit asking how stupid can people be...they're starting to take it as a personal challenge!"<br /><br />I don't know too much about Detroit or what's going on there.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788311731697231165noreply@blogger.com
