Have a safe & happy holiday, men like you are what makes the Fire Service great.

At 1:04am on September 6, 2009, Kelly Saunders said…: Chief, men like you are what makes the brotherhood great.
Your story brought me to anger at the idiots in goverment & at the same time helped restore my faith that there still are men of character & courage.
Stay the course

At 10:09pm on September 5, 2009, Brotherhood Instructors, LLC said…: Art,

We commend you on taking a stand for what is right. I am sure you have the infinite respect of the members of your department (more than you already did). Welcome back to the line (like you ever left), and we are proud to say that we know the most qualified and well-respected Lieutenant in the DPFD!

There are not many chiefs out there with the balls to stand-up to city admin, and now there is one less. Good luck!

At 2:20pm on September 5, 2009, Kurt Callisen said…: Art, from all the guys in Niles, thank you for standing up for what is right. The demotion is bullchit I hope it all works out.

Way to go! It seems that too many people fail to realize the consquences of cutting personnel. I commend you for standing up for what you believe in and good luck and stay safe!!!

Way to make a stand for what is right!! There are so many folks out there that think that the sky is falling when so many of us know the truth. I admire your courage to stand up to those who are making the rash decisions that affect us all. It is people like you, Jeff, Mike and Chris that truly understand what the brotherhood is all about! Keep your head up and keep charging forward. Like the other have said if you need anything just holler, I will be out in Chicago next week.

Chris

At 10:58am on September 5, 2009, Michael Bricault (ret) said…: Stick to your guns. In the end all we have is our principles. Screw management if they can't stand to hear the truth spoken in the open light of day.

At 10:49am on September 5, 2009, Michael Bricault (ret) said…: Art I am in awe of your courage!! Your actions demonstrate your honesty to the issue and your commitment to your department and your community.
There may be moments of doubt in your heart; this will pass my Brother. Your courage rings true. I am happy that someone finally had the backbone to stand up and say what we have all known for so long.
And there is a bonus for you; In the end you may be the happier man for it, ridding the rigs again.
KTF my friend.

Thank you...

Keep up the good work.

At 7:41pm on February 15, 2009, Jared Bertsche said…: Chief, Thanks for the add. I am currently a Stoker trying to gain more experience from working classes and hopefully become an instructor in the future. I look forward to meeting you either at FSI or at an upcoming FOOLS meeting. Talk to you soon.

At 3:17pm on February 3, 2009, Brotherhood Instructors, LLC said…: Thanks, we'll be looking forward to meeting them. We had a great time in Morris in November and I hope all of the firefighters who took the class did too. Talk to you soon.

At 12:03pm on February 3, 2009, Brotherhood Instructors, LLC said…: Hello Chief, Thanks for the add. Hope all is well out your way.

At 8:15pm on January 28, 2009, Mike Walker said…: If we can't laugh, what do we have?
