Somebody getting a picture of you standing around watching a place burn instantly undoes all the positive work you do for years.Jeremy Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072164588443858336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847917804254799866.post-19069098650827608412011-12-07T12:31:41.086-05:002011-12-07T12:31:41.086-05:00You've nailed it on the head.

No firefighter should be forced into that position.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241421023132796098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847917804254799866.post-28004162868263608162011-12-07T11:22:18.854-05:002011-12-07T11:22:18.854-05:00I would have expected that the woman in question h...I would have expected that the woman in question here was already paying higher insurance premiums because she didn't have Fire Protection coverage. So essentially she decided to swap protection costs for replacement costs.<br /><br />Ultimately, I don't see that she has any grounds for complaint. She made a decision about which way she wanted to go, now she can deal with the repercussions. <br /><br />That being said, I'd have a helluva time not putting out a fire if we responded to it. It sounds like a breakdown on the Dispatch side of things - the department should not be paged out to a no-coverage location - what happens if there had been another call at the same time at a place that had coverage?Jeremy Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072164588443858336noreply@blogger.com
