This will involve a complete technology overhaul with hard copy run sheets being converted to a digital display notification system. This is being done in compliance with the paperwork reduction act and, a simplified run sheet with basic information.<br />Friends of George Cushingberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774598003991728334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239126983486357275.post-9212774818126855172014-02-04T11:20:43.863-05:002014-02-04T11:20:43.863-05:00I live in Kansas City and I have never heard of su...I live in Kansas City and I have never heard of such mess. The city approve 650 million for a new District. And don't have fire trucks? with equipment aboard them? Something is wrong with this Pic.I do understand that the public is to come up with a little less than half of the project amount. But your safety equipment is substandard equipment. Well. Mr Cushingberry should be doing more than investigating this matter. It's already known you got a problem in this area. So upgrade the fire trucks, equipment with leaky tanks, no ladders, and the fire houses. Quit talking and making matters worst.

I am not a DFD firefighter and I am offended. ALL DFD Firefighters should be appalled by what you said. For saying what you did, you should take your own money, from that big paycheck you get, pick a firehouse each week, drop in, say hello, give them a portion of your check- your "hard earned" money to buy necessary items. Writing a grant takes time, these guys need this stuff NOW. A grant is a good idea, but they can write a grant too. IF you write a grant, you are not personally helping. Also, "attempting to apologize" on a blog is a sorry excuse for an attempted apology. Grow up, man up. Face these guys face to face and tell them how you really feel..
