This type of behavior makes it hard to have Faith in the Brotherhood of Firefighters as a Whole! Although I have personal Friends, past and present who are Firefighters, and have a Pristine record of service, I think that this is a an ISOLATED case and as we all know, this gentleman is INNOCENT until proven GUILTY beyond a Reasonable Doubt, in a court of Law!!!!!

He's GUILTY. no need for a trial. Fry his sorry ass

Firefighters are a dime a dozen. All you have to be able to do is fog a mirror and you too can be a firefighter. They are worthless taxpayer burdens.

I bet your a@@ they wouldn't be a burden to taxpayers if your house caught on fire! Sounds like you are a little jealous, did you try to become a firefighter and they wouldn't hire you or did you fail the test?

[Snookilicker]

Theymay not be a waste of taxpayers dollars but the Madison county government must allow anybody with two feet to wear a badge or fight fires. Look at the recent headlines. Curuption is worse than ever, the recession being a new motive. Wake up and defend yourself people.

[jim t is a idiot]

hey buddy won't you just become a volunteer firefighter and bust your ass like us and then tell me we are a dime a dozen. i agree with guest lets see you put your own house fire out that is if you own one . it sounds like paying taxes is a burden on you

[Smokey joe]

I know plenty of firefighters. All of them tell me how they got it made. Easy money. It's a specialization and the only reason I can't fight my own fires is because the GOVERNMENT wouldn't let me hook up to a hydrant myself. That's against the law,remember? I would if I could. Paying taxes to meaningless things is what I have a burden with.

[jim t]

Like I said, they are a dime a dozen. And it's no coincidence that that's about what they make because that's what they're worth. Firefighters are Lowlife scum who suck up taxpayers money

[Yep]

If house catches on fire,fire ruins house
If firefighter shows up with 20 guys and a million tax payer dollars they ruin house with water and smoke
BUT they get cool tags and get to drive like idiots going to grass fires. Thanks Guys we are so proud

[You are an idiot]

You can consider them a burden until YOU actually need them. So... when your house catches on fire or you need medical attention. Don't bother asking for help!
