I'm surprised this hasn't headlined here at firehouse.com.
Recently, the Onarca(spelling might be wrong) Fire Department in central Illinois has been accused of drinking beer during firehouse meetings. A 'former' police officer (see: fired) took a video camera in and shot footage of firefighters drinking in the firehouse, talking about responding to calls while drinking, and having a vending machine with beer in it inside the firehouse.
When a local news station interviewed some people who live in the town, one made the comment, "They've never been called out on a meeting night,", or something to that affect.
Do you allow alcohol in your firehouse? What are your rules on it? Thoughts? Debate!
APG1, always causing controversy!
P.S. This is not meant to inflame, insult, or tarnish the Ornarca (I can never spell it right) fire department. I have worked side by side with them in the past and they are a very good department.
