WOW, I hope everyone will survive. The article did not say anything about the fire departement being there. I understand this was an EMS call although I wonder if chief Henderson went? Or if he instructed the ff's not to go? I hear that he has a history of not going to EMS calls. Atlanta fire suspended ff's for not doing EMS related work. Is this becoming a common act with ff's? I see Pike County becoming liable when our fire service engages in the same behavior. It will be only a matter of time when someone in PCFD does the same and then lawsuit city.

James 3:8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Many people wonder what the Bible has to say about truth. Truth is authenticity and the opposite of lying. Truth has many benefits, including freeing you from the power of sin. God's people have a responsibility to speak the truth, even when others don't want to hear the truth. You should always speak the truth in love. Suppressing the truth can incur the wrath of God.

Are you saying that truth is being suppressed? If so, of what truth do you speak? Gossip and/or opinions about worldy issues should never be confused with the meaning of this scripture. John 8:31 (and 32) refers believing and obeying Christ's word, not about man's opinions on worldly issues.

There is an easy way to find out who responded to the accident. Ask the county. It's as simple as that. It is obvious from your comments that your interest is in spreading rumor and supposition rather than a sincere interest in the wellbeing of the parties involved.

#1.3 Been there, Done that! on 02/07/10 at 02:12 AM

It's called, "Profiling calls" and yes I have seen a few more than I needed to in Pike County. Of course they all were prior to Chief Henderson's appointment. I saw and heard a prior Care Ambulance EMS crew ask Mid-Ga's top dog(who by the way is a paramedic) along with a few other volunteers standing there if they were going to respond on a call for a chest pain. Instead of responding to help out, he (the top dog) went and made a complaint on them to their Supervisor. One other time, I heard on the scanner, that a call went out for another chest pain call, no volunteers responded to it to assist, but as soon as the ambulance got on that scene. A second call went out for an ATV accident with injuries. The radio traffic went hay-wire with volunteers responding to that. I understand that volunteers don't get paid, but on the other hand they signed on for the obligation to help out their community in everyway possible. Seems to me that you would go to every type of call that you can make possible to help out your fellow Pike Countian instead of "Picking and Choosing" who or what type of call to respond too!

Correction to your statement, volunteer firefighters do get paid a fee per call.

#2 Hey Ladder 49 on 02/06/10 at 04:46 PM

Seriously you are one freaking Idiot you dont know crap about what is going on or what happened all you are doing is speculating. Why dont you if you have such great big balls to keep typing behind your computer to why dont you just go to the city of Zebulon Square one day and talk to Danny if he is there. He ALWAYS has a open door and is there to listen to the concerns of the citizens or wait you will keep flapping your jaw here. Amazing how you figure out who some of the people who post here are. Some of you are too easy and give it away sometimes more then one way.

Wow we anxiously await your great response back to me. So tell me the exact facts of what Chief Henderson did in Clayton County since you know so much about him and have this kind of weird stalker infatuation with him. LOL Lets hear it we all wait.

Suprising that it could actually be another Clayton County Fire Department member who posts a lot of these responses also. Hmm am I on to something?

Like I said we await your well thought out response.

Also give me a SOME FACTS of what Chief Henderson has done so wrong since he got the position appx over a year ago.

FACTS PLEASE!

No, not Clayton County. We need a fulltime paid paramedic and emt (Mid Georgia Ambulance) with all the firehouse manned 24 hours and 7 days. Make it happen. No fulltime paid firefighter. Yes fulltime paid fire chief Danny. Not for all (No fulltime paid firefighter). ISO from a 2 to a 0. No money. No money yet.

I am not from Pike County, but I was at a basketball game Friday night at Pike Middle School, and a woman collapsed in the stands. It seemed like it took forever for the EMTs to get there. There were two of them, and they were in an ambulance. Nobody else showed up, as far as I know.

#4.1 JC on 02/08/10 at 07:37 AM

Am I missing something hear. If I had chestpains and 911 is called all I want to see is the ambulance crew. I don't want a bunch of Firefighters hanging around. The only reason I can think that the Fire Fighters would be needed is if the Ambulance was detained then I'm sure they would get that message and respond.

Duh !!!!!!!!!!

We do not. You don't get to tell us what we need; you get to tell us what you want. See comment number 5; David's right. You're welcome to move on if that's what you want.

#4.1.2 Shadowhawk on 02/08/10 at 05:52 PM

I am surprised at your comment. I am flabbergasted by this ideology. Please clarify because, I think I am missing something.

#4.1.3 Shadowhawk on 02/08/10 at 07:39 PM

JC my comment was towards your post. It got posted several down.

#5 David Rawlins on 02/09/10 at 06:45 AM

Once again, people moving to Pike County and wanting all the Henry County services.

This county has had a volunteer Fire department without any issues. If you need full time fire fighters please feel free to purchase a home in Henry or Clayton county where you can pay double your current taxes!

#5.1 Anonymous on 02/09/10 at 12:40 PM

No fulltime firefighters. Not Clayton or Henry County. We need a fulltime paramedic and emt (Mid Georgia Ambulance) with all the firehouse manned 24 hours and 7 days. Make it happen.

#5.2 Anonymous on 02/09/10 at 12:43 PM

No. Move to Lamar County.

#6 youpeoplearecrazy on 02/09/10 at 09:49 AM

I click on an article to read about a wreck in our county and instead of comments about the wreck I find comments about taxes and who should have do what. You people need to get a life!! It looks like everyone in the wreck was going to be ok, but the people posting on this thread are the ones who need a hospital!!

#6.1 Irony on 02/09/10 at 04:27 PM

Common sense tells us that nobody forced you to read these comments, so you obviously are looking for something to gripe about, but thank you for your contribution as well, even though I find it rather ironic that you're doing exactly what you're complaining about.

#7 To David Rawlins on 02/09/10 at 12:34 PM

David
Exactly
This is a volunteer fire department and I love Pike County and somethings are not like we would all love them to be in the perfect world. If some would quit complaining so much and look at the big picture. I mean these are the same people who would complain if more and more development was allowed in Pike so more taxes could be deducted so we could have a fulltime firefighters. It sickens me to my stomach that people complain about the Pike County Volunteers. They love what they are doing and when they are called if they can be there they will be there.
