Re: South Walton Fire Board

:funn:

never said they were.

As for giving employees a bonus? You are right. Let's get morale really low, and take away there existing bonus. Employees surely can't expect one this year, just because they got one last year. They'd be crazy to think that way. It's a bonus, right? Not something that should be expected. It's not like low morale has any effect on employees. It doesn't make them have resentment toward the company, or feel like they can steal and justify the theft as something which they deserved. Let's tighten up the ship, and tell these @ssholes to find another job if they don't like the one they have. That will fix everything and make everyone very happy about risking their own life for the safety of others. What a great way to say, Merry F'ing Christmas. I love it.

Re: South Walton Fire Board

They have 5 stations Inlet Beach, Water Color, Santa Rosa Beach, Mack Bayou, Miramar. They run 3 shifts 24 hours on and 48 off. They run 5 fire trucks and 3 ambulances. The inlet beach and Miramar stations has 4 firefighters stationed to it and the other 3 have a fire truck and ambulance stationed at it with 6 employees a shift. That comes to 26 employees per shift times 3 shifts. But please do not forget their 911 dispatchers who answer the 911 lines they are always forgotten.

Thanks for the info, Creeklover. I totally forgot about the Mack Bayou station, and didn't know about one at Inlet Beach. The first post on here was a little vague regarding the 911 operators, and made it sound like the bonus was for the firefighters only, but if you add those 911 operators in you might get a the 99 employees. My only question about that is, I thought they moved all the 911 operators to Defuniak Springs, so that wouldn't affect the SoWal FD, would it? Or, do we actually have twenty-one 911 operators in SoWal?

Re: South Walton Fire Board

yes they do have 911 dispatchers. I remember reading that they just relocated to the headquarters station. there are not 33 of them iN SOWAL though. I think the total is 98 or 99

Give it up, Coyote. If you want to talk about excessive salaries or waste in county government pick another example, there are plenty and they aren't the folks who show up when you need serious help and call 911.

Could you give Coyote some guidance and define what you consider excessive?

Re: South Walton Fire Board

You seem to have a basic lack of understanding of WileCoyote - he never gave up. Never caught the Road Runner, but he never stopped trying.

I suggest all of those that found nothing wrong with the actions of the Fire Boards increasing the "Holiday Thank You" by 400% and thought it should be more - take out your check book, write a check to cash and drop it by the Fire District Office on 393 ,give it to Diane and ask her to give it to a FF or FF/EMT. It will only take 98 of you doing this to make it right.

I will take every opportunity to express my thanks to them and work like hell during the upcoming election to throw everyone of the Fire Commissioners out of office.

Beep - Beep !

Re: South Walton Fire Board

They also have a Chief FInancial Officer - Mr. Flannagan - please don't leave him out of you "Holiday" gifts.

How about instead, we just scratch your name off the 911 address list?

That is a service you pay for with your phone. So what has that got to do with anything?
