"I firmly believe from a budgetary point of view that it will certainly cost citizens less than $50 per household," he said. Does that mean he doesn't have a clue? Good call, Bill! I sense a big budget cut coming with total lack on knowledge on his or the BOC's part.

#2 Bye Bye Paid Fire Chief? on 12/15/10 at 11:11 AM

Seems like this will be the next step

Danny has worked harder for this county than all 5 commissioners combined during his tenure.

Thou shalt not lie, FBT

Hey if you piss all on the Sabbath you might as well bear false witness also. Or maybe I shouldnt be so hard on you. You might be one of them Non-Biblical Christians. In that case nothing will stop you from going from heaven. I am just wondering. Do these Non-Biblical Christians get to heaven quicker. Or do you also lay in a hole in the ground waiting for Jesus to return. If not you can get in line with the folks that have been waiting in the ground for about 2000 years now. Why do Christians think their deceased loved ones are with God and Jesus. The Bible says nobody goes anywhere until Jesus returns. So their life must have really sucked if being in the dirt is a better place than alive on earth. I am not lying either FBT. I was at the local cemetery right here in town. "In a better place", "With God", "With Jesus", it says on almost all the headstones. It seems to me that quite a large amount of Christians do not even understand about going to heaven. You people are so clueless about the most simple teachings about Jesus. And again it is for selfish gain. Which would somebody prefer? Your deceased loved one decaying in the dirt waiting for Jesus (Biblical Fact). Or your loved ones floating around in heaven with God, Jesus, and a flock of angels(A man made myth). I know it is so much easier to go with the myth. And a Non-Biblical Christian is all about the easy. But it truly is a ludicrous notion if you have ever actually read the New Testament. In a better place. You folks will say anything!!!!

#3 Help Me Figure it out? on 12/16/10 at 09:31 AM

Whine Whine Whine.......or is this a polecat cry?

#4 Firebug on 12/16/10 at 04:02 PM

I approve of the county taking control of the fire department's monies. Streamline the spending and trim the fat. How will Danny chief spin this one to it was his idea?

#4.1 Anonymous on 12/18/10 at 06:33 AM

Chief Henderson isn't happy about this move by the Sawyer I know because in a meeting he was upset. I guess he can't spend freely anymome either. I wonder what is his next move will be?

#4.1.1 Anonymous on 12/18/10 at 07:17 AM

It makes no difference to the Chief, just one less thing for you a-holes to b!tch about.

#4.1.1.1 fat bass tard on 12/22/10 at 07:15 AM

#5 Sick of Barnesville politics on 12/17/10 at 04:47 AM

Walter you posted the Home Invasion that happened in Lamar County here but... on the Barnesville Page I dodn't see any news about pike county's fire fees being eliminated.

Good for y'all Pike County we still have a bunch of crooks running our county and worring about recreation facilities and parks.

#5.1 LCLR on 12/17/10 at 11:22 AM

Not same. Fire and Medical fees, That why? State of emergency to protect the house from disasters. Give us a real fire and ems department now.

Next year. Yes need a full time paid Lamar County firefighters with the firehouse 24 hours a day and 7 days a weeks. Not fire fees.

#6 Quantavious Weems on 12/17/10 at 11:53 AM

#7.1.1 stickman on 12/18/10 at 08:46 AM

Either you are the Fire Chief or a Commissioner to refer to me and my question as "dumb sh!t". I BET I GET MY MONEY BACK!!! I am equipped with a patricular set of skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

Coming up, read the story about the "Arrogant Fire Chief eliminated"

#10.1 v smith on 12/25/10 at 08:03 AM

I hear that's a great story.

#11 Firebug on 12/25/10 at 02:10 PM

Awesome, I guess the CM has seen what I have been saying all along. Great job Mr. Sawyer.

#11.1 Anonymous on 12/26/10 at 06:03 PM

Firebug JC says you're a Coward. I think He's correct.

#11.1.1 Anonymous on 12/27/10 at 02:28 PM

I think I like what is about to happen with the PCFD.

You really gonna walk out?

#12 Firebug on 12/27/10 at 01:03 PM

Coming from “Anonymous” that’s righteous!

I the "Firebug" the one and only often imitated will enlighten you less educated polecate losers on one subject and one subject only. If you haven't figured out by now the polecat-5 base their opinions on feelings only and not educated facts. They have no concept of the inter working of the fire service nor they never will. Just because Danny chief can impress you with long enchanted conversations that make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside doesn't mean he is was qualified for the position. Just look at his past employment history, enough said. Just look at his past education, enough said.

When a taxpaying citizen speaks the truth about any given subject and others don't want to hear the truth, you all call them names and try and divert the truth with a spin. I chose the name "Firebug" because I thought it was catchy. I could care less you dislike it but just remember one thing, "I will tell the truth" regardless of my popularity. The Firebug will remain truthful and persistent on the subject of the fire service. After all, who knows my abilities and education?

I support the county manager’s recommendation and hope the BOC will follow suit. These hard economic times call for tough solution to complex problems.

Firebug-1 “out”

#12.1 JC on 12/27/10 at 04:38 PM

Firebug, alot of words from a Coward.

#12.2 PCVFF (station6) on 12/27/10 at 04:51 PM

Firebug should be made chief that is if you can identify him. So many of us support his honesty too. Keep up the good work whoever you are.

#12.2.1 reader on 12/27/10 at 09:01 PM

if they find you they will try and exterminate you beacuse they feel threatened

#13 Call N. Alcars on 12/27/10 at 08:27 PM

Being curious as to what a 'Firebug' was, I consulted the Funky & Wangells Online Dictionary and read the following definition:

"A MALCONTENT NO NOTHING COMPLAINER NATIVE TO PIKE COUNTY, GA. WHO INCESSANTLY BLOWS SMOKE AND EXTINGUISHES NO FIRES".

With that explication was a photo of a brayin' donkey wearing a fireman's red hat.
