I'm on combination fire dept., and we're kinda at war with each other., I know it's stupid and sad but the fact is I know that my department isn't the only one., The main problem besides the paid chief switching the mutual aid line up (that pissed off our neighboring township districts), is simply that I believe that some of them forgot where they came from., Don't get me wrong there is a group of great guys that we have no problems with, it's just certain individuals that treat us as if we don't know anything., The same goes for the paid EMS workers bad mouthing the vollie FAS for no reason., One of their arguments was the fact that the FAS has 3 different colored rigs, to which I say WHO CARES?., If I'm having a medical emergency they could show up in a bright pink ambulance and I would go., Point is as long as they do something to help save my *** why does it matter the color of their rig? Granted they have 3 different colored rigs, but they are people like me who donate their free time to help others in great time of need. So, I was wondering if anybody might have a clue of why alot of paid staff bash volunteers., Is it simply they think volunteers are useless, or that alot of them never got accepted by volunteers., Please any possible insight would help.
