Wow, “he took the class but I have no idea if he passed, but we gave him the job because he is a good friend”

1:42 They hired a fire chief that is uncertified for the position. The Good ol Boy network strikes again.

It sounds like the City Administration needs to step back and listen to those that actually do the job... For the safety of their citizens. I'd be furious if I were a resident of Overton.

The good ole boys chose for him to be chief & that just ain’t gonna fly. All that bs is history. Kudo to the Firefighters for standing against a chief who isn’t certified at all for fire fighting. Basically he’s a chief bc he knows someone, even tho he hasn’t any certifications. 😭😂 clowns

So the city council and mayor decided to hire and pay a chief to be in charge of a VFD ? Sorry, it doesn’t work that way ! Take you’re good ole boy crap and be on you’re way, it’s the men & women of the Dept protecting you’re community not the paid chief !

Does the fire department have a charter? An a agreement prior that states they can't bring paid personnel, everybody is to be volunteer? They establish their own administration? and the town provides workers compensation insurance and relief funding? Maybe the fire trucks are owned by the membership? Maybe the fire house is owned by the membership?

sounds like several years ago, a newly created "fire rescue coordinator" county position. a big money man who got behind some county counsel members and got a county administrator his job, being hired into the FRC position. making all but HIS old big dollar dept play. FOLLOW THE MONEY and good old boys. All while countyr was crying "no money"

"Does he have the state requirements to be a fire chief?" "Uh we are gonna get him fu-.....look he's taking the pop quiz right now. I dont know if he's passing but he should be able to pull the weight of the 70% of the guys who resigned...."

Looks like the small town good'ole boys club dictators didnt like the previous chief and ran him out. New chief polished some nobs and greased some palms to get the position. Sounds a lot like Marv "the killdozer" small town drama.

This kind of stuff has got to stop! The volunteers know what is best for the department! Big government comes in and the heck with the men & women that built that department! Put it to vote for the citizens & see where your uncertified " Chief" rates?? The county shouldn't have the right to just hire their good old boy friend & do as they please! Show some respect for the people who built the department with their own sweat & blood!

When you get Firefighter I & II, you are brand new and know nothing. 10% is in class and 90% is in the field. Sure, wet stuff on the red stuff but I have never witnessed an exact scenario from the book you learn from. No time in the field, means not qualified.

The world is full of these unqualified self important power mongers. Appointments without qualification because someone has an axe to grind or someone knows someone. It is pathetic to see morons with a little power get away with this type of personnel mismanagement.
