07:08 AM Battalion Chief Ash announced fire under control.
THANKFUL to United President Donald Trump for his working to terminate the employment of a lot of government bureaucrats who sit behind a desk and have no idea of reality. The wage and hour has investigated Dothan Fire and other fire departments. Fireman will arrive early, because some just naturally arrive early, and will place their gear on the fire engine and tell the one on duty they can get ready to leave. So like this fire call that came in at 06:23 AM and shift change at 7:00 AM, the fireman coming on would have responded. And was not officially on the clock. It is just something that has been done for centuries on. While not required to report and change early, just something some fireman have always done. The government bureaucrats who sit behind a desk and do not know the real world states they can not do this. And it is done voluntarily and not required. So Rickey Stokes supports United States President Donald Trump in his terminating these bureaucrats employment. We need a Trump-minded person in Alabama to fire over half of the bureaucrats also.
Sorry, had to add that because Dothan Fire Chief has been fighting this idiotic mentality of bureaucratic government thinking.
THANK YOU to all Dothan Fireman, Dothan Police, Dothan Utilities and Dothan 911 for your work and prompt response.
