io think that you need to talk to your chief about the problem between you and the to officers and she if you can make thing better between you guys its probably just a misunderstanding and once its over you will be able to attend your meetings more regularly and be able to go on calls and help out because a you are there and b because you will know what to do

I agree that there is a problem in a number of departments. This is something that needs to be addressed at the department level. If you don't make drills or the minimum required training, you are out. This obviously would be hard for smaller volunteer departments, and may lead to the demise of more that a few. In the end the remaining members/departments would be better for it. And perhaps, we will stop killing so many of our own every year.
On a side note
Everybody on this board seems to be of a like mind. This is great, it has to start with us. We must lead by example. How can I talk about somebody else and their unwillingness to be educated, when on a quasi-professional message board, I don't use proper grammar or spelling. Why aren't we taken seriously? Why do some town managers see us as knuckle-dragging Cro-magnons? If we talk in a professional environment in the same manner we post on these boards, we shouldn't be suprised.
