Volunteer fire and first aid squads are cashing in on taxpayer-funded retirement accounts despite many members not responding to enough calls or not holding the proper certifications, according to a new report by the state comptroller.

Posted: Jul 7, 2015
Categories: National News
Comments: 0
When Lt. Jamaal Perry returns home after finishing a 24-hour shift at 8 a.m. as a Milwaukee Fire Department paramedic, he usually gets the same question: "Did you have a bad night?" his wife, Dana Perry, asks. Most mornings, he says simply, "It was all right." Perry tries to leave his work at the firehouse, to not let the violence he sees on the job come home with him.

Comments: 0
Most fire trucks and ambulances run by the Compton Fire Department have been stripped of defibrillator machines, a crucial lifesaving device that rescuers use to deliver a shock and try to restart the heart of cardiac arrest victims. County regulators ordered the department to remove the devices last week after fire officials were unable to produce documentation showing Compton firefighters had been properly trained to use the equipment.

Son of ex-fire commish returns to FDNY despite racist and anti-Semitic tweets

Posted: Jul 6, 2015
Categories: National News
Comments: 0
The disgraced son of former FDNY Commissioner Sal Cassano never should have been permitted to rejoin the department after his racist Twitter rant — and was only allowed to because of a “horrific double standard,” furious department sources said Friday. In what one senior FDNY official called “definitely a violation of standard protocol,” Cassano let his son, Joe, resign from his probationary position as an EMT in March 2013 after posting the offensive tweets, instead of being axed.
