firefighters beware- your boss may not like you posting work photos...

I landed in super hot water this week because my chief became aware of photos posted on Facebook. The photos were mild, but showed crew members in uniform. I was advised that my depatment holds the proprietary ownership of any images pertaining to the dept. I have been warned; posting these photos is an actionable offence... worthy of termination. So please be careful. I would hate to have anyone else get in trouble for something so silly.

Our sog is that as long as the patients have already left the scene and no personal information (ie. License plate numbers or defining marks on the vehicle or house numbers etc.) are not present we can post. But only after prior approval of the chief. Therefore more work than it is worth so I usually don't bother.
