Suppose your last chief was slow to respond to fires, or he sent engines and men to the neighboring community to help fight their fires with your tax money. So you have him replaced.
His replacement has never been in a fire engine, but gets the job. When he’s slow to respond to fires he blames the former chief. When he sends even MORE men and engines to help the neighboring town, he blames the former chief because "everyone does it".
How long do you keep your faith in the new chief?
Yea! Doesn’t that "BURN" you up??? Geez, I wouldn’t want this guy as a Chief of my local fire Department….Perhaps DOG CATCHER???
Does the battalion chief report to the fire chief? I noticed during a tour of the new firehouse that the battalion chief has a bigger office than the chief – usually a sign of where you are on the organization chart.
The Chief is the Chief in most fire departments. They run the show, and have deputy and assistant chiefs who are subordinate to them. They have department wide command responsibility. Battalion Chiefs command a "battalion" of fire companies, each Company (engine, truck, rescue, etc.) is then usually led by a captain or lieutenant.
But, unlike the military, Police and fire departments have no standardized rank structure, so it could be different in different fire departments. Also, there is a difference in combination departments, where you have volunteer officers as well as career (paid) officers. So, I can’t be sure what they ToO is for the place you visited.

I would vote "Not Guilty," and give him an award for not shooting the man.
Wow! All he did was punch?
Let the man go.
EDIT: really, you would let house burn down for 75 bucks when they are paid to put out fires?
I need to know for a Government project…
I can’t find it on either.
Try google or go to the Yucaipa web page..
i reached level 10 on sims 3 ambitions as a firefighter and I received my fire truck and fire alarm. i installed the alarm but the current lot i have has pretty much no backyard or front yard so i can’t park the fire truck. This annoys me because i love my house and I literally just moved there about a week before i reached level ten. So i really don’t want to move. What should I do to fit my fire truck? or should i just continue working at the station?
work from the station, or if you have another vehicle parked at the house, pack that up to make room to put out the truck
My father bought a Fire Chief OS2200 outside wood furnace a few years ago and we have been heating our house with it since. My father died in april, so I have been trying to work the wood furnace. What I’ve been doing is starting the fire, filling it up with wood, and flipping the switch to "auto" and letting it burn. The air knobs are pretty much all the way in but the house still gets too hot. I have the gas furnace turned off. The house is getting over 80 degrees and I don’t know why. I downloaded an owners manual but it doesn’t help. Can anyone walk me though this??
less wood
It depends on what the donations were for. If they were directed for a specific thing, then No. But if the beverages were for something official, like the Dept. Christmas party, and the money was just a general donation then it’s OK.
I am. Remember his reason for not sending skimmers from other parts of the country to the Gulf oil spill?
He told a Florida senator that "they might need them". Obviously meaning there might be another spill:

So this is Obama logic folks. That’s like a building being on fire but the fire department won’t send more trucks as needed because there might be a fire somewhere else.
Absolutely stunning.
Bushlied: "He still did better than Bush did with Katrina." So you admit that Obama’s response sucked! Thanks.
oh what a crock Bushlied. how many days has this been going on? close to 100. most people died during the katrina storm. Not from dehydration or from what Bush didn’t do. You know the government was not set up to save everyone from from their own ignorance or non intelligence. They were told they needed to leave and they stayed there. Your argument is sad. If Obama is the great leader and savior why didn’t his a$$kicking get the job done?
