Fear needs to be channeled into your psychi to develope a healthy respect for the fire and the dangers it presents. Use y...
Art,
I have always held the belief that our job too often requires us to do things we never thought we could do and to see things that no sane person should have to see.
In February 1974, a fire destroyed a three story apartment building. We spen...
Mick,

That's bittersweet "good" news.
However; if you guys don't want to see this guy's record expunged at the end of his parole, you need to go to the sentencing phase and ask the judge to BAR HIM from ever serving on a fire department again. If you don't, he will show up somewhere else after he gets out.
As far as the chief and wife stealing money; having a husband/wife team or any relative that handles money is a bad thing. There should always be two signatures on checks; checks written should be stated at the next meeting and an audit every year should be done.
Man; the department has had a rough go, but with the right people, they will pick it up and be stronger and better.
Get out there and start to re-build the public trust.
You have the support of an entire nation's fire service.
It's times like this where you find out where your brothers and sisters are.
TCSS.
