Just a hint, the first one listed went down in flames... so if you get few responses to this one (or if it heats up) you'll know why...

That would be me !!! Not just my town, but probably the whole county. I know you wanted EMS out of it, but I run both Fire and EMS, so I guess Im really "WHACKED". I run my POV to ALL med calls as a Emergency Medical Responder, previosly called " First Responder". I dont run in the ambulance for I am not an EMT. I get there before the ambulance, and do assesments, vitals, etc...Then I run my POV to the Fire Station from work, home, or wherever I may be, because we are a Volly Dept. Now despite what most may think, I do not drive 120 mph, run red lights or stop signs. We dont even have a stop light in the county !!! I have on many occasions been escorted by law enforcement to scenes, but I still dont drive as fast as they do. If I win the Whacker of the year award, do I get a plaque or something???

We have one who has a full size blue strobe light bar on top. complete w/ takedowns, alley, and front scene. a dash light, ( I saw this in passing, not sure what style this was), and as we were putting the ambulance back together, he was mounting grille lights. He is a member of 2 departments that I know of. Great guy, but whacker through and through.

I am a wacker and proud of it i am a junior fireman for a volley dept in pa so i was automatically a wacker ok so some of you guys it seems to me like you think we are a threat why just because i get up at 2 am for a lift asst i think wackers are a good thing and why is because if you use them right they can be a big help they are usually the ones to come to all the calls and trainings now this is what i was told a wacker was somewon how is crazy about the job and i dont see a problem with that.

I would assume you are talking about me?....well it just might be true, after all, I am addicted to this website, and spend most of my winter layed off... at the fire house, waiting for a call, and cleaning the rigs.

Hmmm... having problems pinning down the definition? Well, let me put it this way - the owner of this car is probably a whacker:

Yes, I think so.....Thanks...stay safe and remember to keep the faith......Paul
