Jailed New Jersey Captain Remains On Duty

I posted an article in a "FORUM" (see link below) this evening that I would love to get your feed back on. It's titled "Jailed New Jersey Fire Captain Remains On Duty". If you read the article, you'll find its about a decorated Fire Captain, who after spending a few days digging through the rubble of the WTC Disaster, was stopped three times for DUI. Now his job is on the line. I'm looking for your thoughts on him loosing his job. Should he loose it? If so why? Or should he keep it? And if so wh… Continue

Hey Don,
I was wondering if you knew of any EMT classes coming up. I missed the one that started in August, and i understand there was one in Monroe county that started not to long ago. but unforunatly i missed that one too. Matt Zigafuse from our station had told me about those, but was just wondering if you had any insight any others coming up.thanks by the way thanks for being there for us at the RPM fire betweeen your company and medic 9 you had your hands full but we greatly appreciate it.

Hi Don,
I want to thank you for adding the video of the incident in Maplewood, MO that claimed the life of FF/Medic Ryan.
Maplewood is part of my old stomping ground and this murder has sickened me.
Stay safe and keep up the good work.

haha that really sucks, any word on the outcome on the fire. i herd it might have been arson. i understand the fire marshal didnt find the cause yet, i really wish we would have gotten dispatched for it. so far though weve been pretty busy though espically with our mutal aid dispatch agreement with plainfield so thats been bumping our call volume up, i was told that some of the ffs had chemical burns on there arms how are they making out. hope everybody is doing ok.

Thanks for the advice Don. I appreciate you taking teh time out to respond in an "Adult" monar and not think I am trying to make myself look good in that post. I was simply trying to get advice on how to deal with the individual and right out of the gate I was harped on. Luckily the operson is on a different department so only on mutual aid calls will I have to deal with the person. Again, thanks and stay safe.
