The Social Network & Community JUST for Firefighters
Its almost that time of year
In the vollie service we know what happenes when the leaves start to turn colors. Members you haven't seen all year start coming around. Officers start showing up for fires and scheduling training classes. The President orders pizza more often...just to say thanks. The old timers show up to meetings. Why, ELECTION TIME. Yes election time, Response time goes from 7 mins to 4 mins. The fire house is cleaner, The officers are nicer. People get pulled to the side more often and cabals are formed to overthrow the current administartion. I love this time of year....NOT.

And hence another reason as to why elections for position is a stupid approach to operations. I'm glad any dept I was ever affiliated with didn't do elections.

I have to say just because the person is experianced and highly trained doesnt mean that they are the right person for the job they might have book smart but common sence might be lacking as well as managerial skills. Sometimes no matter what your in a no win situation when it comes to officers.
