Pike County's fire chief Danny Henderson was terminated effective Dec. 31 during a special called meeting Wednesday morning. Commissioners approved a second reading to repeal fire fees and went into executive session to discuss the fire department.

County attorney Rob Morton released a statement from county manager Bill Sawyer on the termination of chief Danny Henderson.

"A termination letter has been issued. As of Dec. 31, Danny Henderson will no longer be chief of the fire department," said Morton.

Well, this will make a lot of people happy.

#2 Firebug on 12/29/10 at 11:38 AM

I feel sorry for Mr. Henderson for the simple reason that his lack of wisdom got him demoted in Clayton and his arrogance got him fired in Pike. I also feel that S. Fry, Marro and the polecat-5 did Danny no justice either. They fluffed his feathers knowing ---- well he had no qualifications for the position. Then his egotism spiraled out of control crash landing him onto the door steps of the Department of Labor.
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.

The lowly Firebug feigned humbleness and empathy when he wrote:
'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.

I don't care who he is, what he did to get fired this time, or why he was fired before.

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.

#7 info/thoughts on 12/30/10 at 08:52 AM

Well some of you liked Danny some of you did not and we all saw by the posts.

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.

#7.2 wife of a fireman on 12/30/10 at 02:32 PM

I guess some of you people here have no clue what these men and women do.... This job as a firefighter/emt is not an HOBBY for them.. just think would you want a hobby that everytime you took a call you put your life on the line for people with whom you dont even know??? I have seen first hand how much the firefighters for PCVFD love doing what they do..They train on their day off they run calls no matter what they are doing they leave their families to take care of yours.. So before you say anything more about them just be thankfull that you have men and women who will come to take care of the people you love whenever you call 911!!! You CANNOT put any price on that!!!!

#7.2.1 Concord Resident on 12/30/10 at 03:15 PM

But that's exactly what Henderson did, isn't it? Put a price on it? Why was he paid to do a volunteer's job?

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?

#7.2.2 anon on 01/03/11 at 04:34 PM

well said. These people put their lives in harms way everytime they show up .
thanks to all the firefighters in pike co.

I'm sorry Ex Fire chief Danny Henderson. We don't need a full time paid Pike County Fire chief and firefighter with not all the fire house. Small town and big wildlife. Not big town. Save wildlife.

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.

**************Yet another burning legal question in levity.************

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?

Pike County is in the state of Georgia, and Georgia is an "at will employment" state.

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.

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.

#10 Wife of a Pike County Fire fighter on 12/30/10 at 03:23 PM

You talk about wanting a paid department here or a memeber at the station 24 or 48 hour shifts are you the tax payers going to pay them. Yall complain about the fee going up when danny was in there with a paid department yall would just complain 24/7. Our husbands and family members get out of bed no matter what time of night to help this community out for yall to just trash talk them. Just think about it next time you get in a wreck, your house burns down, you need medical help think about them that help you with never asking for anything in return. These men and women work normal jobs and have normal familys and everyday life. But are willing to leave there family on Holidays,middle of the night to save what you have. Maybe a little thanks from this community would go a long way!!

#10.1 Wife of a Firefighter on 12/30/10 at 03:46 PM

Wow I couldnt of said it better!!!! What people in the county have to realize is that these men and women protect their property of which most people put their life savings into and save their family members!! Im not sure if people are aware that the 1500 dollars a month paid to Danny Henderson is nothing compared to what Chiefs make at a paid department!!! and even though this is a volunteer department it is a BIGjob to organize the things in this Fire Department and oversee all the men and women to make sure everything is done to protect and serve this county!!!! So when all you people were complaining about 50 dollars on a fire fee and this fire department just imagine what this county would be WITHOUT all these VOLUNTEERS.... Remember your house insurance depends on the quality and equipment of this department..... and i have heard noone complain about that..... So in the end we need to thank these men and women for what they do for us because unless you are willing to do their job we should NEVER complain... You should go by your nearest Fire Station and just tell them thank you for what they do!!!!

#10.2 Wife of a Firefighter on 12/30/10 at 04:05 PM

Amen!!!!!!!Just remember all you people of Pike County What if these men and women didnt VOLUNTEER where would your family be..... So what everyone needs to do is go by your nearest Fire Station and Thank them.... we should not worry about who is paid and who is not because as far as i see it this county has one of the FINEST group of Firemen and Women ive ever seen!!!!My husband works for a paid department and i can say that the men and women that volunteer here can treat me and my family anyday!!!!!!So THANK YOU PIKE COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT for all you do!!

I would suggest that the government of Pike shut down for one month.
After one month you poor mouthing, penny poor people would go crazy and maybe the real taxpayers would stand up and take control and make Pike a better place to live.

#12 thinker on 12/30/10 at 07:13 PM

let me get this straight it's a volunteer FD, so if your house catchs fire they have to leave there house then come put out your house after they stop by the fire dept and get truck i would think that any poor soul in the house would be dead by then,its not like they would be there in 5 min ,dont get me wrong i have the ut most praise for our VFF but lets be realistic your not going to make it and if you do you better have insurance isn't that what its for so everybody needs to buy smaoke alarms and change the batt every thankgiving...

That option was there before the SPLOST built the last three stations, Tyree and Fry didn't want it.

#13.2.1 Anon E Mouse on 01/03/11 at 11:19 PM

That's not what I heard. The proposal would have put the inmates on call and Tyree agreed that it would be a great place for training buildings and such. The proposal got pushed under the rug due to citizens not wanting inmates responding to their emergencies. The FAT CM and Fry dismissed the notion and never spoke of it again.

#13.2.1.1 Anonymous on 01/04/11 at 07:32 AM

I also heard Tyree say it was a good Idea, but He never pursued the Idea. Tyree also thought all he needed was shell buildings for fire stations. Wanted to get them mail order.

#16.1 There were about 13 New Volunteers who joined the department

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.

Firebug, I don't know Chief Danny, but, I bet he is busting a "gut" laughing at your ineffective sleuthing . You can quit worrying and go back to dangling your hose since I am going down to St. Marys for a well deserved vacation.

Oh! Bet you LOVE the new Chief, huh!

#16.1 and 20. We have some soon. New Barnesville and Lamar County Fire and Rescue Training Center. and New fire station. In 4 months, 10 or 12 full time paid Lamar County firefighters with the fire house 24 hours and 7 days. Big town. Not small town.

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.

Why? We have.. New Barnesville and Lamar County fire and rescue training center. And new fire station. About 10 full time firefighter. You want work? Who want? Who need a full time paid Lamar County firefighter with the fire house manned 24 hours and 7 days.

But? We don't need a full time paid Pike County fire chief and firefighter with not all the fire house. Only one paid firefighter.

Statement previously posted at #9.1.2:

"Watson, give that Einstein guy in Pike County a call after Mr. Cochran replies."
AND NOW...we have to notify Einstein, Jr. #9.1.3 'ThinkAtYourOwnRisk'.

************ OFFICIAL ALCARS BLOGGERS NOTICE ************
to: Anonymous #9.1 and #9.1.3 'ThinkAtYourOwnRisk'.

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?

Yes, we're all overwhelmed by your superior (special) intellect. Hey, why don't you apply for the Chief's position....bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! Maybe there's an old phone book you can sit on so you can see over the desk!

#22.1.1.1.1.1 Firebug on 01/10/11 at 01:58 PM

I can't sorry. Danny was worth 18k and there is no way I can work for that. Remember you get what you pay for.

#22.1.1.1.1.1.1 Anonymous on 01/10/11 at 03:29 PM

So how much are you willing to pay to sit in the seat? If you can offer at least 100k we might be able to offset your incompetence and make it worth our while. Phone books extra, of course.

#22.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Firebug on 01/10/11 at 10:07 PM

I am an educated man but, I can’t speak intellectually on the phone book thing. I am assuming that is an inside joke that only fired chiefs know about, right?

#22.1.1.1.1.2 Fans of Firebug on 01/11/11 at 07:56 AM

Sadly enough they can only call you names and try to degrade you Firebug. Most likely they are democrats that have no clue. The great vision of Henderson has faded just like Obama. Don't let them get to ya.

#23 Well all this talk and nobody really knows why he was fired? on 01/09/11 at 07:17 AM

All this yapping and still nobody knows why he was really fired? I mean come on the county is too small what did he do?

Or was it a budget issue?

Or does he have other goals?

#23.1 fat bass tard on 01/11/11 at 08:59 AM

he was fired for remarks made to contract EMT workers at the annual "pike county has plenty of money so lets spend it" Christmas party.

fbt:he was fired for remarks made to contract EMT workers at the annual "pike county has plenty of money so lets spend it" Christmas party.

Mr. Fat Bass Tard, your published declaration as to the reason why Mr. Henderson was discharged indicates you were physically present when the remark attributed to Mr. Henderson was allegedly uttered and that you possibly contributed in a slanderous manner to the conversation. With your furtherance of gossip innuendo while promoting libelous intent, are you prepared to participate in a lawsuit?

A Subpoena Duces Tecum served on the correct entities will enable the collection of your pertinent personal information whereas legal process in the form of a Subpoena Ad Testificandum can be served ordering your appearance to give sworn testimony.

Would you prefer to expound on the veracity of your blogging comment or clarify that you simply passed along a rumor pertaining to Mr. Henderson? Your choice.

actually, i read it in the paper.

Thank you, FBT. Your additional comment takes the focus off you. I will have my associate Wesuda Pantsoffum, Esq. follow up with Lexis Nexis and track down the source of that scurrilous and libelous statement attributed to Mr. Henderson.

Thank goodness this article is a dead issue and everyone has moved on. I am amazed how so many thought the fire department was going to come to a hault after Danny left. Well it hasn't and we are just fine. Myself and many more think the fire service is more united and stronger since Henderson left, anyway Chief Snyder is off to a good start as is Chief Grant.

There is still a little grumbling from p'cats but we don't care. Just remember "time heals all wounds".
