Comment by Cody Scott on February 1, 2008 at 11:36pm: WOW. As a volunteer department. WE CAN DO BETTER THEN THAT. All they did was stand around. Watching the station,rigs, and gear all burn up. now tell me why in the hell didn't they get that rig out before the building was involved. They must have been stoned. Don't waste time on water or gear, get that shit out now before it burns up. But i guess they had other plans. It was a sweet fire once they put all the equipment in it as fuel. I guess when people say firemen risk it for other people these guys limit it to people only. Not buildings, not property, just people. LAME ASS guys. I dont even think they deserve to be firefighters or even say they were in there life. I didn't see any firefighting going on.

Comment by Mike on February 1, 2008 at 6:33pm: Who needs a grant if you got insurance. It would have been much cooler if they would have turned the lightbar on. New station, new trucks and new gear. Is there a downside... and a few weeks off.

Comment by Tim on February 1, 2008 at 2:42pm: OMG! It took at least 6 minutes to get water flowing ?!?! Where was the location? How'd you like the guy runnin' around without bunker gear. It gets to the point where it sounds like he's coughing up a lung yet walks closer to the structure. How about the guy who takes 3 minutes to don an scba and for what? I lost track of him but it looked like he got geared up and stood outside and watched that piece of apparatus burn when he had plenty of time to move it out of harms way. The bay door was open for chrissake. Do you mean to tell me these guys went through an academy?! Did this thing make it on America's funniest videos, or what?! To relate to another thread, this is a perfect argument for a national standard for firefighting. These guys obviously had no clue! Great video, Firesis! This brings allot to light as to the level of incompetence out there. Relating to Chris's comment, I can't see how any of these guys could've continued working for that department.

Comment by Chris Anderson on February 1, 2008 at 2:07pm: That is just f**kin crazy. I would get my ass kicked if I just stood around like that or parked our truck that far away not to mention being kiked off the department. Talk about just sitting bck and watching it burn.
