Now the polecat-5 and mindless followers are going to be extremely mad at every blogger whom post something. My answer to that is “ GET OVER IT” Danny has left the building.
Firebug-1 “out”
For the love of God, please cook up a hundred or so pones of that famous corn bread, stuff them mouths and shut up, blah blah de blah blah blah blah de blah. there I said it all for ya... now go look for smoke...
'I also feel that S. Fry, Marro and the polecat-5 did Danny no justice either.'
You betcha!..and you Firebug, did him justice with your constant whining about Chief Henderson? Each opportunistic and critical blog referencing Chief Henderson by you allowed the covetous light desiring his position to be shone around you. Your reference to 'Mr. Henderson' vs. Chief Henderson displays your self-serving agenda.
You bloviated about Chief Henderson's lack of qualifications while aggrandizing your own perceived expertise without offering proof of same. What are your credentials? Come out of the closet and let everyone see your "real" firefighting knowledge.
I posted earlier on another topic regarding definition of Firebug. Since then I revisited the Funky & Wagnells Online Dictionary for an update:
FIREBUG:
"A MALCONTENT FIRE CHIEF WANNABE COMPLAINER NATIVE TO PIKE COUNTY, GA. WHO BLOWS SMOKE AS A BLOGGER AND PUTS OUT NO FIRES".
With that explication was a photo of a 'smiling and braying' donkey wearing a fireman's new shiny red hat emblazoned with "CHIEF". Hee Haw..Hee-Haw..
Chief Danny Henderson removed the knife from his back and will survive Pike County.

'Quick, Cap'n Brian, turn on the hydrant OR pith on it'!..we need more hose!
Henderson; -"Pretty much the same as Call N. Alcars"
Birds of a feather do seem to flock together.
I am glad to see the county progressing finally, and doing away with the arrogant ones who assume they know it all.
Good riddance.
If Helen Keller were alive today, she would be able to "see" you and Firebug are one and the same. Jealousy exudes from your pitiful characterizations of my wonderful man, Call N.Alcars and of former chief Danny Henderson.
Have you thrown your 'hat into the ring' for Fire Chief with the 'powers to be'?
I look forward to reading about:

Let me 'figger' that one out. Hmmmm..Let's see..Since my hypothetical monetary advance for a future book hinges on you NOT hitting the lottery, I will ponder that quandry and advise you later about requiring a more tangible form of payment.

I'm just glad that we are no longer carrying on our over-taxed backs a salary that should have never been paid to a "volunteer" in the first place.
And isn't it odd that once the "fire fees" were done away with, the paid volunteer is no longer employed. Let's see if the next volunteer chief gets an income.
I did have a few questions. What did Danny do so bad you didnt like about the fire department. Not that you did not like his arrogance or stuff but what did he do so bad about being a fire chief.
Not hearsay lets hear some facts about the Grants he wrote for new fire apparatus or stations? I dont know the facts?
What got Danny fired? Do we really know or it hearsay?
Rumor was he was trying to start another ambulance service.
I hate that if he was unaware that he was being canned I hate it for his family. I have met his wife and she is super nice. I have met his kids and they are super nice also. So as far as this goes I hate this for him.
What is the future of the Fire Department now. I see interim. But will the new chief be paid?
I heard rumors, yep the fire fee thing is gone but in reality the other way but raising the other rates in the long run you will actually pay more money.
Whoever the next chief is we can all moan and groan all we want. Houses will still burn and people will pass away. The thing is that these are Volunteer firefighter/emt and they do this as a hobby, they have other jobs, they come when they can. But delayed responses are something we have to expect with a volunteer department.
How does Pike Get a a fulltime fire department? Well you bring in more business's and subdivisions. Something most of us dont want so we just have to deal with it is what it is.
My one thing I thought would be neat/nice to have. Is to have a least one fulltime paid firefighter at each station. Work 24 hours on 48 hours off and have three shifts. That way at the very least a fire apparatus unless they are on another call is guaranteed to get to the incident pretty quick and be set up for the tasks required when the rest of the volunteers show up.
S.P.L.O.S.T
Some.People.Lose.Out.Some.Time
I admire our fire fighters, and the fact that they volunteered for the job. My beef is with the fact that the commissioners agreed to pay him, when he VOLUNTEERED, then they tried to make us pay for it with a so-called fee.
We in Pike are not yet at a point where our infrastructure can support paid fire fighters. I'll be one of the first to applaud when we can afford it.
Now, does anyone care to tell us exactly what the "insubordination" was that got him fired this time?
thanks to all the firefighters in pike co.
But we have.. New Barnesville and Lamar County Fire and Rescue Training Center. and New fire station. In 4 months, New full time paid Lamar County firefighter with the fire house. Big town. Not small town.
Is Pike County liable for wrongful termination in the firing of Chief Henderson?
I consulted with a brilliant legal scholar, the grand niece of Johnny Cochran named Wesuda Pantsoffum. I wanted to verify if there may be compensatory damages AND punitive damages due Chief Danny under the statutes of the ADA because of Chief Danny's egregious and abrupt firing. Miss Wesuda was vague with her answer, mumbling something about, "pleading and proving intentional discrimination".
I told Wesuda that Chief Danny was very knowledgeable, butt, suffered from the inability to embrace the gluteus maximus smooching requirement needed to keep his politically appointed position. Some of the Pike County elected officials seem to require that physical inter-action on a daily basis with their subordinates.
Also, there is an etymologically issue that may be covered by the ADA, whereas
Chief Danny is follicy challenged. The above photo is visual documentation to plead sufficiency is present to pursue the legalities.
To a layman like this tired old scribe, Chief Danny has an "open and shut case".
I await to hear favorable words from Wesuda Pantsoffum, Esq.
Just now:
Ring...ring..ring.. Miss Wesuda called and said if Judge Pappy or Judge Tongue were available to hear the case, the Chief might win BIG in an ADA suit.
I gave Wesuda the bad news. She snuffled and said she will get back to me.
What does the Firebug think about a suit? Brooks Brothers? Tailored? Legal?

Look that one up, sherlock.
Facts is, nobody is guaranteed a job, especially during hard economic times when private employers and even local governments are having to cut back everywhere they can. To cut a paid, insubordinate employee that really wasn't needed anyway seems to be quite logical to me. But yea, go ahead and try to push your lame "wrongful termination" issue and see how far ya get.
He's gone, get over it.
"But yea, go ahead and try to push your lame "wrongful termination" issue and see how far ya get."
OKEY DOKEY, Mr. Einstein. I'm so proud to have the assent of a genuine Pike County intellect. Your reply is humbling. That's why I toil for the uninformed..
Even with your solo approval, the progress of any potential lawsuit depends on Wesuda Pantsoffum, Esq. firing up her Ouija Board. Wesuda has to hold a seance with her Uncle Johnny Cochran to ask Johnny's spirit for the legal green light to proceed. Would you like to sit in on the seance? If not, you can certainly rest assured I will keep a Mega IQ braintrust like you informed on the WT lawsuit.

He is history.....gone.....out of here.....bye-bye....so please don't fill us with all that crap.
You all were told for almost 2 years about his lack of everything and you all didn't want to hear it. Now this is another example of how I was "correct". Like it or not "I am da man".
BTW, Chief Grant we have a mutual friend I've heard. How interesting.
Bahahahahahaha
I'm sorry. We don't need a full time paid Pike County Fire chief and firefighter with not all the fire house. Only one paid firefighter on duty. Small town and big wildlife. Not big town. Save wildlife.

Tch, tch, tch...(sounds of tongue clicking)... Firebug, you should have ensconced yourself behind deeper cover or denied yourself the urge to contribute your exuberance to the 'dastardly deeds done Danny'. Your seemingly fatalistic braggadocio and rampant juvenile demeanor has secreted your identity to a patriot who is torn between exposing fraud Firebug or not. The 'partisan' confided in me since we 'amble' in the same Pike circles. I promised I wouln't say a word....maybe!
If you read materials other than comic books, fire manuals, or Mad Magazine, perhaps you will recall what may be the 3 most famous words in literature: "Et tu, Brute?"
Ol' Julius wasn't aware of his covetous "friend". Neither was Danny.
You thought the three words were Alfred E. Neuman saying: "What me worry"?
Steady now!..."unreel that small hose and aim your micturition at the flames".

That is WELCOME NEWS indeed!!!
With the 13 new volunteers melding with the seasoned volunteers, those energized firefighters should be able to control any fire in the county. Of course that depends on the recruits and vets perfecting the Pike County Volunteers Blow Back Technique invented by da' Firebug. That Huff and Puff procedure is used to smother flames by depriving combustible materials a source of oxygen by way of deep respiration of spoken words. It is rumored Firebug has the capacity to deplete all the air from a room when he begins a Huff N Puff routine regarding his mastery of Fire Science. His often used technique is feasible, IF, everyone is trained in the methodology of huffin' and puffin' as perfected by self-proclaimed, "da' man", Firebug.
What a concept! The firefighters show up at a house fire, encircle the burning structure, grasp each others hands and while facing the fire, direct their collective blowing and sucking breaths toward the flames utilizing the Firebug H n P method.
Presto! The inferno dies from lack of oxygen. No water is needed, thus, no toxic run-off to endanger our streams and watershed. It can be done! Talk to your BOC.

Wesuda Pantsoffum, Esq. contacted me and stated her Ouija Board 'came to life' and thrashed about fiercely when Johnny Cochran's spirit spoke to her about the pending lawsuit. Cochran's ghost told Wesuda that he conferred with the spirits of Perry Mason and Atticus Finch and they gave eeriely differing opinions which he discounted.
Mr. Cochran's spirit told Atty. Wesuda to contact prominent lawyers Ben Matlock in Atlanta, Dan Fielding in New York City and Denny Crane in Boston. She called each of them and those legal peacocks quickly jumped at the chance to strut their wild and colorful expertise by being involved in a Wrongful Termination suit in Pike County.
These three famous attorneys agreed to assist as Pro Bono co-counsel for wronged former Chief Danny Henderson. Wesuda asked me to notify the two "deep thinkers" in Pike County as she promised to do. I did and now we await word from the plaintiff.
What next from Pike County's two DEEP THINKERS with such SHALLOW MINDS?
