If the "extra" jobs do not interfere with the city work then there should be no problem. If you use the firehouse just to sleep, then that is a problem. Just like when I go to work, I plan on being there for the full shift. Why do the firemen have to drive to the rocking chair with three trucks and eat. This waste city gas and puts miles on the trucks. They know they are to be at work and should go prepared.
As for the CB issue and her driving a city vehicle to miss for school, was it something the city wanted her to do?
As for the fire chief, I have seen the new fire chief truck outside the city limits at a new house job site. This truck does stay parked most of the time at the chiefs house. Does he ever drive it to the station or is it that he is not there much?
AMEN! About using gas in the trucks just so they can get something to eat. The cost to move those trucks is probably great. Why can't at least one person go in their private vehicle and bring back food for the rest of the crew.
I'm sure when they eat at the station they take the truck and stop at a store.
