At 12:05pm on August 16th, 2007, Shawn Blair said…: The statement on the career vs. volly hit the nail on the head. I am paid at a combination station that has no clue how to run it as such. I get so angry at some of the vollys on both of the departments I run on because they don't think they need to train. The only fully career department in this county is in hard times and may have to lay some gguys off. This causes them to take it out on the vollys more often. Not that they didn't before. Well what I wanted to see is if your department had figured out the combination thing yet and if so could I get some info on how you guys do it.
