CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAYBE. I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR ELECTIONS TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM. AND THAT WOULD BE UP TO THE FIRE DEPT MEMBERS. IF THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET SOMEONE TO RUN AGAINST HIM. I SAY HE SHOWS PROOF OF HIS EDUCATION. I DONT THINK HE EVEN HAS THE CREDENTIALS TO BE A REGULAR FIRE FIGHTER LET ALONE A CHEIF. HE LEFT THE DEPT FOR A WHILE AND GOT BACK ON WITHOUT ANY TRAINING. IF HE HAD THE TRAINING HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HE MAY NOT BE ACTING THE WAY THAT HE IS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE. FOR HIM TO DO SOMETHING STUPID. SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. MAYBE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE THE TRAINING HE'S SUPPOSED TO. THAT OPENS THE DEPT, THE VILLAGE, AND THE TOWNSHIP UP FOR A LAW SUIT. MY FAMILY LIVES THERE. I GREW UP THERE. IM SERIOUSLEY WORRIED. DAN BOSS IS A LIABILITY.

DEAL WITH THE CAPS LOCK. THATS THE WAY I LIKE TO TYPE. THANK YOU.

BOSS HAS CONTROL OF THE TOWNSHIP BOARD, THE TOWNSHIP HAS MORE MONEY THAN THE VILLAG, AND ANYTIME THE VILLAGE HAS TO BUY ANYTHING THEY HAVE TO BORROW IT FROM THE TOWNSHIP. BOSS IS SECOND IN CHARGE OF THE FIRE DEPT, AND I THINK IS HOLDING SOMETHING OVER THE FIRE CHEIF. SO WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE BOSS HOG OF DARIEN. WE HAVE THE BOARS NEST AND THE BOSS HOG.

IF THE CHEIF DOESNT DO ANYTHING, WHO WILL. HOW DOES THIS GET RESOLVED? BOSS RUNS THE TOWNSHIP BOARD. THEIR NOT GONA DO ANYTHING. THE VILLAGE SAID IT WAS UP TO THE FIRE DEPT TO FIGURE IT OUT. SO WHERE DOES THAT PUT US. 5 FIREFIGHTERS SHORT, POTENTIALLY MORE, AND A JERK CALLING ALL THE SHOTS. IT DOESNT SOUND LIKE ANYTHING IS GOING TO GET DONE TO ME. NOBODY WITH THE POWER IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.

DAN NICKELS AND DON IVERSON WERE A GOOD TEAM. NICKELS DID THE POLITICAL END AND TRIED TO KEEP EVERYTHING RUNNING SMOOTHLEY AND DON WAS THE MAN WHO GOT THINGS DONE. THEY BALANCED EACH OTHER WELL, AND WERE EFFECTIVE. WHEN DON HAD TO LEAVE DUE TO MEDICAL PROBLEMS BOSS MOVED RIGHT IN AND WHEN BOSS GETS INTO A LEADERSHIP POSITION THERE IS NO BALANCE OR HARMONY BECAUSE HE WANTS THINGS DONE HIS WAY REGARDLESS OF RULES OR OTHER PEOPLES POSITIONS OR AUTHORITY. I PERSONALLY THINK HE'S HOLDING SOMETHING OVER THE CHEIFS HEAD AND THATS WHY THE CHEIF WONT DO ANYTHING TO HIM. BEFORE BOSS YOU HAD A FIRE DEPT THAT GOT THINGS DONE, AND DONE WELL. A FIRE DEPT THAT MET THE STANDARDS AND FOLLOWED THE RULES OF INCIDENT COMMAND JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER DEPT IN THE COUNTRY. NOW WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

ONE OF THE MAIN RULES OF INCIDENT COMMAND, IN WHICH EVERYONE THAT IS IN EMERGENCY SERVICES HAS TO TAKE A CLASS IN, STATES THAT THE FIRST PERSON ON SCENE ESTABLISHES COMMAND AND HOLDS COMMAND UNTILL THEY RELINQUISH IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. THE ASST CHEIF CAN NOT HAVE COMMAND IF HE IS NOT ON SCENE. NO ONE CAN. I QUESTION HIS EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATIONS TO HOLD THE POSITION HE IS IN. IM ALSO WONDERING WHY HE DIDNT HAVE HIS GEAR WITH HIM AND THEN LEFT LIGHTS AND SIRENS TO GO GET IT. ANY OTHER FIREFIGHTER WOULD HAVE SOME SORT OF DICIPLINARY ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST THEM FOR DOING THAT. THERE WERENT THESE PROBLEMS GOING ON IN THIS DEPT UNTILL DANNY BOSS GOT ON. SOMEBODIES GOT TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE ITS NOT GOING TO STOP HERE. PROBLEMS WILL CONTINUE, IM SURE THE SURROUNDING FIRE DEPTS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT BOSSES LEADERSHIP SKILLS. ASK THEM.
