So two of them are ass kissers, and one figured that to solve it let other depts handle it. Who decides who is chief in your dept? Is your dept career or volunteer?
So only ONE person decides what happens in your twp? Can you say dictatorship?

We use outside vendor. We don't have the time, plus with the amount of hose we have it would take forever.
Well for us we are exempt in Pa from the cdl but have to have EVOC. In my department all apparatus drivers will take an EVOC refresher course every two years. No one under 21 can drive a company vehicle dictated by our insurance carrier. To get qu...
Art,
