I would like to be the first person to apologize for my comment above. When I first read the post, in my carelessness, I over saw that this was only going to the womens & childrens side, & once I saw "Rescue Mission", automatically said what I did. Fact is, the kids at the Mission have to choice but to be there, as is the truth w/ most of the women. Don't get me wrong, there are some that want to live off of us as long as they can. But now more than ever w/ Christmas being just around the corner, we should stretch out a hand to someone that really needs it. So again I apologize to the readers, & to the extension of our Brotherhood, The Ladies Auxillary.

The Chief does a good job?? Since his job is predominately managing budgets and making spending decisions then we should have an experienced business person in that position, not someone who started as a secretary and has no M.B.A.
If you want a Chief who is great on the fire scene and manages his people well then he has failed at that job as well (#1 and #2). He has never fought fire or really ridden a red truck and he comes on scene and takes command from the Batt. Chief how to control a fire scene. I personally do not feel safe that someone like #1 assumes command on the fire scene.

So the bottom line is that we do not have a chief that can run the business part of the department or the suppression side of the department. Lovely.

First I want to say that I think its nice that our ladies are trying to help the women and children of the mission. But I will try to be nice in what I'm about to say. Sometimes I feel that SE has ruined my compassion. And the rescue mission is partly to blame for this. When you respond there as much as we do, at all hours of the day and night, because its either 7am and there being told to leave or its night and they can't get in to the mission because they won't let them in if they have been drinking. Or you respond for mandown calls and when you get there you have to ask for a description because you have 5 people lying on the side of the road and sidewalk. Of course you check on them, and they cuss at you, spit at you, throw stuff at you, and you clear only to come back 10-15 mins later because someone else has called it in again. Gets old after awhile. There are many stories of the mission like this. Stories like, I've been walking all day and now I can't walk. You just walked by CHRV. Stories that can be told for days. I for one understand we all could fall on hard times. I understand this. But if I had to, I would work wherever I could to take care of my family. Alot of what is at the mission choose not to help themselves. Like someone said, if you need there help til you get back on you feet, thats one thing. But most of what we deal with choose not to try. And thats what leaves a bad taste. Anyway, vented enough. Happy Holidays to all. McFall

I would like to say thanks, to all of you that came out to help with Brian and Brenda's house. Hank, they loved the new door. They looked like kids on Christmas Day, when they came in for the first time when the house was completed. We couldnt have finished it so quickly without your help, so Thanks again ... Scott Mutter

Notice what shirt Brian had on? Ours. Our shirt and he isn't one of us. He wasn't wearing a Roanoke PD shirt because we (Graham & Mutter) were the ones that did the work and he was showing support for us.

I tell you if this post were about something negitive there would be 20 comments by now. But I for one love to see post about things such as this. It really does so what some of the guys in this dept are all about. This is a great story and the guys who helped out officer lawrence are the best. I don't think this family will ever forget this and you can tell they were really touched. Great job and god bless.

Well I for one am sick of people saying if you don't like something you picked the wrong job. I for one feel that being a firefighter does not give you the right to say whatever you want and say that is the way it is. People are people no matter what your job. And if your mother did her job you would no there are times and places for everything. When you make post like some of these you give us all a bad name. Remember anyone can see this and you should think of how you would like your profession to be seen by others. I know that things go on and are said inside our firehouse but those things are not out there for the world to see. So in the future before you degrade someone or something think twice. You can still say what you want, without looking like an ass. Have some pride and respect for the job you say you love.

Look just because someone wants you to either quit or shut up doesn't mean they are a chief. I'm not and I want you all to shut up. Fact is Overacker sometimes has simivalid points, he should keep some of his shit to himself, and as someone else said he has nothing to fear because he is retired. They can't touch his retirement, all they can do is ban him from entry to scenes.


Just because we don't get on here bitching doesn't mean we are rolling over and taking it in the butt. Every department in the country has its issues. EVERY department has a #3. This department sucks, but it's better than some I've seen.



The budget sucks, yes it does. But the chief can't really do alot about it. He has a boss also, regardless of whether or not he is in bed with them, he can't change things they hand down. He has a job and wants to keep providing for his family also. He has (against the odds of us being against him) faired fairly well. I do not like his approach and most days him, but I'll acknowledge a decent job.



I would wager if most of you had to balance and manage the departmental budget for 1 week you'd be found huddled in a corner crying. It is a very difficult thing to manage a large business, which is bascially what we do.



Cut everyone some slack, and as the previous poster stated quit if you don't like it, acknowledge the job done by the Scotts with our help and enjoy the job while you can.

Even though the city's administration tries to break us down with all their cut-backs and bull, we still rise to the occasion when someone needs help.


To all those that helped, thank you for keeping the spirit alive and be proud of yourselves for what you accomplished.



Great job brothers.

You folks that get on here and say "if you don't like it, then quit" really piss me off. You're probably a chief b/c no real firefighter is just gonna roll over and take this bullshit laying down. Looky here bud, if you have a chance to fight and make your work place safer and better, then it is a fight worth fighting. You don't just get on here and tell everyone who's a little pissed off about the way things are going to quit! Not to mention the ladder situation is a citizen issue as well. Admin. won't listen to us, and they really don't care about us. So how do we get at them? We get on here and embarrass them. We should do our best to let the public know how bad it really is. And Rhett does a helluva job keeping us informed as well as the public. Yes, most of them don't care either, but you don't have to care about a situation, you just have to be informed. So when one of us or a citizen die because there's no stick on scene, we can all say "well they shoulda' listened." And in the end that is the only thing that will change things, a tragedy. So why don't YOU quit ya friggin' yes man suck ass. Get back in the chief's office, shut the door, and start smiling like a doughnut under his desk.

"Shitter was full" Uncle Eddie.


Hey there bible thumper....I didn't say you had to use foul language to be in this profession. What I said was that if you didn't like foul language -you chose the wrong profession.

You call me ignorant for using foul language on occasion and that the readers outside this dept. must think bad of us for some reason.

Well, let me tell the readers outside of this department that yes I do use fould language on occasion and that yes I do have a college degree, and that yes I scored well above the national average on my S.A.T.'s.

I may be not very intelligent in your eyes but luckily for me I really don't care what you or people outside of this department think of me. I love what I do and love the dumb, ugly, foul mouthed people I work with. Hallelujiah!!
