Hey guys, figured I would vent a little on here. Situation is for too long now, the firehouse has not been run right. Proceedures aren't followed, rules are broken constantly, we have a serious lack of proper leadership.
The problem lies within many of our officers. Chief, Head Captain, one of the Safety officers, 2 Lieutenants, treasurer, president, and maybe some others. It has gotten to the point where lawsuits are coming out. Parents of one member suing another member for fraud (from in the firehouse).
Its not just me that knows this, other members aswell know this, but we are the minority here. We know the problem lies with the guys that make the decissions. How do you fix the problem when the officers are appointed by the chief which is in for the next two years? Its gotten to the point where it isn't being resolved inside the firehouse anymore, its gotten out, now we have lawsuits, and other involvement.
We went from 2 years ago, being the company that used training facilities 2nd most in the county to last. We were mutual aid to many surrounding companies, we no longer are. We lost all respect as a company, and we feel like we have our hands tied behind our backs.
One one hand you want it fixed, but the only way thats possible is possibly risking having the company crippled, which works against what we are there for, and the reason we want it fixed.
Basically I want to know how do you make the big whigs FOLLOW the rules and proceedures when they are the ones supposed to be enforcing them?
