We can only hope that the incompetant baffoons (and that's putting it nicely!) that are "managing" the Northeast Ambulance and Fire District won't be in there much longer. Thanks (somewhat) to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for bringing to light how these crooked incomps have ruined a fire district that was doing just fine before they arrived a few years back. When the incomps decided to fire 98% of the white firefighters and medics so they could replace them with black firefighters and medics, that's when the trouble began and the fire district began its tailspin into what we see of it today.
Northeast, when they were the Normandy Fire Protection District, had solid red apparatus for many, many years. They switched over to black-over-red about 8 or 9 years ago, and now the incomps ordered 3 solid black ambulances with red striping. Wow, that's going to be hot next summer! Smoothe move, Exlax! That goes to show you the mindset of of these incomps.
We can only hope that positive results will be seen very soon in that district.
Contrary to what the Post-Dispatch said in today's editorial, disolving the fire district and contracting out to the St. Louis Fire Department would NOT be the cheapest, easiest, and best thing to do. This isn't a knock against the StL FD at all, it's just that a complete reorganization of Northeast with competant chiefs and a competant board is what's really needed. Get the crooks out of there and start from scratch, with chiefs and board members that want to do the right thing and run the district in the proper way.
And IAFF Local 2665 has NOTHING to do with what's going on up there negatively with the fire district! That reporter needs to get her facts straight.

So what is your gripe? Is it that the fire department 98% minority or that they did not paint their rigs a color that you like?
