Paul Combs's Comments

I tend to stay neutral having spent 6 years on the volunteer side prior to working. I have a great working relationship personally with all the volunteers. Most of the at due to being the assistant training officer for the department. I have trained every one of the volunteer officers so there is a lot of mutual respect there. There are still some career guys that believe an all career department is the way to go but try selling that to a rural Town Council now a days. We are lucky to have a paid Chief to answer to. It is still a work in pregress since we were 2 departments just a couple of years ago (forced consilidation). I think that is where a lot of the issues stem from.

The Volunteer vs. Career editorials definately get some blood boiling since we are a combination department.

Love the work, I make it a point to post it every month in everyone of our 3 stations. I as well as the other instructors in my department refer to it during many training sessions.

Paul send me some good HazMat cartoons, I would love to use them in my powerpoint. Of course I will give you the credit.

Hi Paul, nice to see you here. I love your work, I like to refer to them when teaching. I especially like the fact that you are not too far from my area here in Michigan. Take care brother, keep up the good work.
