Hey Mike
This might interest you. I was talking to a City Firefighter and he asked why Mehlville was not at the training and walk through of the new River Boat in Lemay. He told me that St. Louis had several fire companies along with Affton there. I later talked to a Lemay firefighter and ask why we were not invited, he informed me that our Chief and Fire district was notified and could not make it because of computer training. Our so called computer training classes were canceled. This is about firefighter safety and it apears that our Chief could care less. The only think that he cares about is reprimanding and combing his hair. By the way we are on the first alarm response to that building.
As a concerned firefighter I feel that Mehlville should be taken off of the response until they have made a wake through like the rest of us. By no means is this a slap in the firefighters face but it is for there own safety.
SHAME ON CHIEF WHITE
"Stupid is as stupid does." And stupid abounds in the Mehlville Fire Protection District from Hilmer on down.
All mutual aid with MFPD should be canceled! I sure don't want any of our firefighters injured or killed on acount of there chief officers incompetance!
I wonder when Mehlville will start having a turn over of Chief officers do to the incompetance of the Fire Chief ability to be a top administrater.
Mehlville firefighters should insist on, at least, a formal explanation of why the walk through at the new casino was not as important to the Chief as "computer training". Give me a break - this is ignorance in its purest form. If the casino goes up in flames, at least our boys will know how to upload a document!! What the hell is wrong with this picture??
5:46 Did you say minister, or administrater. Anyone who has heard little timmy talk knows he's a better minister than administrater. Even his administration does'nt want to be under his lack of leadership.
Dear 5:46
Word has it there has already been voluntary (as well as an involuntary) turnovers of chief officers. As reported here and elsewhere, former Assistant Chief Mossotti was demoted to Captain. Two former Deputy Chiefs were granted requested returns to the rank of Captain. No comments have been made explaining their reasons for these requests but speculation abounds. All the more room for Hilmer buddies at the top of the pile.
It's obvious that the ex-deputies wouldn't play Hilmer's version of ball. They have a sence of dignity.
J Hampton sold his soul. Hampton's out for 1 person- Himself. Not to long ago he was best buddies of a union executive. That's because he used the nion to advance himself. Now Hilmer is the one to butt kiss and that is OK with him. Screw your old buddies! Shame on you Hampton.
By the way- You were a terrible DC and now your gonna fail at Asst Chief. It has already shown at some fires.
I'll bet none of you pussies would say anything to Hampton's face. He'd kick your candy asses! Are you afraid that you'll end up like Strinni?
WOW Stonedick you of all people calling the firefighters pussies. You are the biggest coward of all. Lets see you face the brave men and woman that puts there lives on the line everyday. You are to chicken and of course brainless to hold a conversation with anyone with more then a 2nd grade education. Now go back and have your wife protect your dumb ass.
9:27 I already talked to Hampton he said it was just politics. The only pussy I see on here is you.
Stonepussy HA HA
