Sure, Kenny…..the firefighters who staff all fire apparatus and 25 out of 39 transport units (plus back filling the other 14) should work shorter shifts. So we’ll be doing the same job as your union members, plus a little more (that fire thing). Here’s the kicker…..we’ll be working MORE HOURS than your members! That’s the plan from the FEMS chief. The EMS Union will contine on their 42 hour weeks (2-2-4) while Firefighters will work somewhere between 48 and 56 hours a week (3-3-3). Sound fair? And the civilian EMS union members get time and a half for anything above 40 hours, thats why they won’t be joining us on 3-3-3. Firefighters by federal law have to work alot more hours to be eligible for time and a half pay. You forgot to mention that Kenny.

Great job by the two or three Firefighters who actually put on SCBA's, went inside and put out the fire. As for the rest of them … could they move any slower? It sure didn't look like anybody had the backs of the brave few who went in and did what needed to be done.

I can only say how proud I was to be with all of you tonight. The way you handeled yourselves with the respect. The Fire Administrator and his clown PIO can say nothing bad about you.
Once again the finest of DCFD shine.

I do not know what Mr. Walls has experienced in his life, but I genuinely feel bad for the man that his own personal lens on life forced him to view the protest as one with a racist motivation.
I have not walked in his shoes nor lived his life, but his comments and actions speak to a man motivated by fear and shame.
I hope that Mr. Walls has an opportunity to one day make peace witht the personal demons that haunt him.

Sam Ford and ABC 7 News missed the whole story. All they did was use the six o'clock news to sell Ellerbe and Kenny Lyons' talking points, oh yea and all without any facts to back up their claims. Way to go….what ever happened to actual journalism? You know investigating facts to a story and then reporting the FACTS, not just other people's opinions. But I guess that would have been too much work, oh yeah and the truth just isn't as fun to report as mis-information. No mention of cutting 25% of the workforce, really? Sam Ford made the whole story all about second jobs and 12 vs 24 hour shift with no mention of the countless studies out there discrediting the 12 hour shift and supporting the 24 hour shift.

If Kenny Lyings knew what he was talking about he would be dangerous… He is in charge of roughly 80+ Single role providers who if they were smart would search for new "leadership" The firemen have upgraded EMS response on a 24 hour shift with no problems for many years now! All Mr Lyings can do is live in the past where his brand of acrimonious double speak has not served the citizens or the few people he represents at all… The Citizens, Visitors and Employees of this fine City have seen the upgrade in service, response time and overall quality while the members work 24 hour shifts.
So if there is a need for any comments it is thank you to all the firemen and single role providers whom serve daily on both of there shifts.

No matter how many calls they have responded to that day, there is no excuse for their utterly poor perfromance and the 2 crew members behavior with frying his gear and throwing his helmet. This a disgrace to the fire service, I hope the insurance company see's this

I was wondering when Jenny would crawl out from under his rock. We are just doing what your union couldn’t a-hole!
