I saw on the Toronto CP 24 News last night, the Barbados Fire Chief accepting a donation from the Toronto Fire Service of used fire-fighter protective clothing and equipment. As a proud Barbadian who has always considered us as a leader among the Caribbean nations; could not help but think. “Is this what we have come to”?Don’t get me wrong, it is good to see the recycling of good equipment that otherwise might have just been dumped, but I could not help but feel that, have we reached the stage that we have to go with hat in hand looking for hand-me-downs to supply our fire service. Most Barbadians do not consider themselves as Third World yet why does our government let one our most important public service branches be treated as such.?

Maybe I am just a little too PROUD of our PROUD little nation.

Read The Original Article

The information was posted over at Barbados Forum. For some reason the message by the poster, who appears to be a Barbadian living in Canada, conveyed sadness. BU has interpreted the last sentence of the post which the poster highlighted in the colors of Barbados to mean that his pride as a Barbadian was dented after watching the broadcast. To be honest in the BU we feel the same way in the BU household. Barbados Fire Chief Mayers, if you have to accept the old equipment then do it away from the public glare.

 

What is the message which our leaders are sending? We spend millions on a multiplicity of project but we have to accept “hand-me-downs to supply our service.”

    hi david….I think a lot of degrading things in the fire department need 2 be exposed…If i go through all the nonsense that happens in there u wud vomit…..but thank u for being concerned.

    my agenda is to agitate the system and cause a positive reaction to spread training,incentives and merit across a level playing field…. the fire service is managed by an imperialist system where friends family and fraternity will be rewarded with all the goodies

    Well David, it would seem that the AG does not know the shit that is going on in the service but I know for sure that he do. He just does not care. You know when he will pay attention, when elections come around. The service is in a bad, bad sorry state!. The moral of the firemen at a all time low, the fire chief is an idiot and could never step in Mr velmo Cadogan shoes as he was a real good man. The present chief talks down to everybody and insults thems, he does not ran the service, as he does whatever a certain SO man in a senor position tells him to do, he can not think for himself because he is uneducated for the position. I pray to the Lord that he would help us. People just coming to work to get a salary because the place is sick and sick bad. My question is what is the Association doing for the people, a lot of us are thinking about stopping our contributions to it because they do nothing for the people. They only fly around and spend the money in luxury living. Do you really think that in this day and age that we should be accepting hand me downs? We say that we are a proud people but are we really? Somebody help us please…………………!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dear Puzzle, would you need to e-mail them? They can only be asses if they are in a department and don’t know what is going. They want to be ‘professional’ in some areas and the areas that they should be, they are not. Why don’t they call a meeting or visit the stations and talk to people on a one to one basis. Would I have to suggest this!

    Proper management is needed in the service. Mr PM please look at this when the Chief goes home in May. Do not give it just to the next person in line but to someone who has the service at heart. This can be a person in the srevice or out of it. People are being promoting according to who like who and they are getting into the service through family relations. I know people that would do good in the service and have been writing for years but can’t get in. The place needs restructuring from top to bottom, it is top heavy as the most educated people are at the bottom and the assholes are at the top.

    You like you still testy and I was reluctant to comment on this before you cuss me again but here is what I think.

    Firs and foremost regardless of what we think or believe because of PRIDE. We are a THIRD WORLD NATION and this is a fact. Having said that I personally don’t feel that had anything to do with the fire gear donation.

    My next point is did Canada not donate used airport equipment and technomogy to Adams Airport? What is the difference?

    Plus to end my comment, yes were the place being managed properly and money that this Government seems to have an endless supply of would be spent on the things that were important. Therefore you are still partially correct we are dealing with “ASSHOLES” although that too is not an appropriate description for them because an asshole is a USEFUL thing!

    hello …no name…. i see nothing wrong with the fire department accepting used EQUIPMENT. We do it all the time as barbadian citizens for example recondition cars…. But what people are flaring up about is the used fire protection gear,which are fire fightin suits (jackets and pant)… As a normal human being,when the body is in an environment of high temperature and a wearing a half inch thick insulation(fire fighting suit)…..that NORMAL individual would lose body fluids by sweating and the body fluids are absorbed by that half inch thick insulation…… what i am really trying to say my friend it that its unhygienic for someone to wear garments which was worn by another individual that serves the purpose of body fluid an potential pathogenic absorption e.g underwear,sweatsuits etc… please note that diseases like hepititis can be contracted that way

    Let’s deal with two of the topics within the blog. First, the Fire Chief and second, Used Protective Clothing and Equipment.

    I can see from the outside looking in that there is a problem with the selection of the Chief. Within the Government Service we will always have a problem with the famous word ‘Supercession” which we have to live with once you are in the public service. This same writer would have joined with the others if a recent employee was given the Chieftan position. You don’t have to be a University graduate or from the status quo to be the chief. If the fires are outing…Who Cares.
    Secondly, we are still look at as a “Third World Country”, forget the wishes of we being a First World Country down the road, we have to deal with our present position NOW. We have to realistic, probably, the term might be used as “USED”, but in those countries, if you take a product out of a box and look at it, that term is USED, we see vehicles coming into this country as USED , yet we see more accessories and better designs than the so-called NEW vehicles. So let’s deal with real issues, since this is the only problem that you highlighted.

    These are questions I would like answered. Is the writer of the blog a member of the Fire Service? Anonymous are you a fire officer, why the jealous passion in your post? “One not so blind mouse”, I can see that you are not a fire officer, but trying to create mischief by quoting “my agenda is to agitate the system and cause a positive reaction to spread training,incentives and merit across a level playing field”. This I understand, But should you be crucifying and degrading the Chief or should you focus on the head of the Civil Service? And remember the Unions are active, so forget that public sector nightmare alias “Supercession”.

    Frankology, how dare you launch an attack on contributers like that ? These individuals were just speaking their minds,how they feel and see it .Are you aware that the fire department is a paramiliatary entity therefore the union cannot be included in this matter? I am impressed about your talent which is reading a contributors column and predicting their frame of mind and area of employment …COOL!!! Anyway , I am a member of the fire department and I conclude that the main source of these two individuals fustration is the capitalist actions of the departments administration.the ongoing training process only caters for a selected FEW and the masses are neglected… Supercession is not the issue of these two individuals,and hence you are wrong about ‘anonymous and 1 not so blind mouse’ these are two of the most highly qualified individuals in the department and we dont see supercession as the root of the problem but uneven training distribution… We should clean our house before we attempt to clean the village….. No one is trying to degrade the fire chief ,he is doing a very good job at that himself……my belief is that young people should not let the language of dosility and the teachings of the poltergeist and yardfowls such as David and Frankology circulate through their minds

    Smoke Cat I think you are getting a little ahead of yourself and anti dramatic.

    If these hand me downs are OK for Canadian fire fighting I say they are OK for Barbados firefighting. But here is another thing.

    Why are all the bad things going to happen to firefighters because they are using second hand equipment as you propose? How many people in Barbados and other countries buy, accept and wear second hand clothes without the dire problems you are predicting the firemen/women might get because of this donated fire gear?

    Let us keep the debate on an even keel.

    Smoke Cat, I empathise with you and your emotions, what I advise you to do, is make sure your breathing apparatus is on before you suffocate, even if it is used. Your venom as I see it might be the cause of your so-called comrades not reaching the pinnacle. And your behaviour, a total disappointment to the service, by the way, you might need the same items that you want to give away.

    I am sure you have YOUR reasons for being angry at this situation but anger is causing you to lose perspective and decorum.

    This Post started out asking what we felt about our Fire Dept accepting used fire equipment from the Toronto Fire Department. It has declined into the gutter with many points not being valid.

    If someone wants to say it is an embarassment to have to accept the gear, or that it hurts certain Bajans pride I can understand those positions though not necessarily agreeing with them. But to go the route of the equipment having the potential to spread disease is truly nuts!

    The equipment given were not jock straps or underwear.

    People buy or are given far more intimate second hand apparel and it is perfectly safe.

    Many people as you know as acts of charity give to the poor left over food from functions or private tables with little fear of giving the poor diseases, food poisoning etc to those receiving.

    I think a better argument could be made in asking why would the fire department have to accept used fire gear when the Government has millions it seems to spend on everything else under the sun. I done!

    Dear frankology and No name
    I can see clearly that you’ll are not understanding what is going on here and yes I am a fireman. The fire service is in need of some much needed attention because we have real problems in the department. The top brass does not care about their men’s future, family, education and personal problems. Now if you’ll were members how would you handle working in a place like this?. Maybe you have not observed but my workmates are expressing themselves about the crazy behaviour that is being exhibited within this department. Ref. the used clothing, it is not right and once I know, I will not be wearing any and that is final!!. We have real problems and we need people that can change things to really help us. People have spoken to many people in authority at government departments that can do something, everybody knows the problems but they just don’t care. I just want the chief to go home as late as tomorrow if possible!. A time is going to come when there will be many fires and no fire officers to work and they will be nobody to save life or property, we deserve respect because when we leave our wives and familyon a daily basis, we don’t know if we will ever see them again. This is a very dangerous and stressful job, one that you have to be a team players to survive. You guys are not in here but I would really like you to spend a day as a fireman with the Chief telling you ignorance, then you can speak on any matter pertaining to our demise. I want the Nation, Advocate, CBC and starcom net to know that we are being treated like dogs, please somebody write about it!!. We are losing our mind and pride in this job due to the current management.

    Let me say this to you with the greatest of respect.

    All of what you say if correct is shameful and a disgrace to the firemen/women serving the people of Barbados. But I want you to focus on the points I was and am trying to make.

    I and I am sure most of us have little or no knowledge of the deplorable working conditions you have outlined and have every right to be pissed off about. If true it is a goddam disgrace!

    But here old boy is what you have to focus on as far as my comments are concerned.

    The Post when originally made did not make any of us aware of the working conditions you describe. We were merely OR I WAS SO HELP ME GOD commenting on how I felt about the Toronto Fire Department making the donations of fire gear.

    Anonymous your brothers and sisters in the Fire Department in Toronto probably felt that they were doing a good turn to you guys/gals when the donation was made. You or me will never know exactly what was said to them or how they were approached for them to make the donation in the first place. I am sure they were not told or are aware of the politics and working conditions causing the outcry like yours.

    As you can imagine if any of them read this blog I would think they would be equally pissed for two reasons (1) they were not given the facts as you are outlining them (2) they probably feel that you guys/gals have no appreciation.

    But let me also say if you read my responses I have always said the Government should have had the money to buy new gear for you firemen/women.

    The point we have to keep focused on is, the donation and donators were done with good intentions and the donors know nothing I am sure of what you are telling us. They did what they did out of an act of kindness.

    The issues you are concerned with are Barbados BLP Government and homegrown ones and is completely unrelated.

    You have my complete empathy and knowing this Goddam Government I have no reason not to believe what you are saying.

    Anonymous, I am dealing with the issue just like No Name, because your primary objective within the various statement was based on USED ITEMS, also a sudden venom against the Chief, again, this is based on your statements. You can get help with your concerns, but I will not go down the road with any commenters negativity of people just to get over your point. Now, you can give the public your concerns so that we can comment properly and advise you of solutions.
    Thanks for listening (laugh)

    I have read all the comments with extreme interest and would like to post my own comments about both lines being followed by contributors.

    I am a Bajan firefighter in the UK and have been associated with similar donations that prompted this discussion and also applied for the Chief Fire Officer’s position when Velmo Cadogan retired.

    I have had contact with a number of the Caribbean fire services and they all differ depending on their status within government or how they are viewed by the public. In my opinion Barbados has the highest standing in the Eastern Caribbean and amongst the highest across the entire region. For that reason Barbados firefighters have experienced better standards than most and they should expect to receive the best that can be afforded at all times.

    In 2004 we donated fire gear to St Lucia and Grenada services and both were more than grateful for everything that we could offer. This was because St Lucia fire service is poorly funded in comparison to Barbados and Grenada needed to rebuild after the huricane.

    Because of the lifing policy we have for allof our equipment and the changes in legislation for technical standards for protective clothing we will change gear after about five years. Much of the equipment that was sent was brand new but had just become obsolete. The rest was used and we could not confirm that it had all been cleaned before shipping so that was covered by an instruction to the receivers to clean all unpacked uniform before re-issue.

    There is an issue about hygene but providing the kit is cleaned as instructed by the supplier there shouldn’t be a problem, in fact most servies will keep used, cleaned kit in stock for emergency issue.

    So you guys deserve the best and should get the best if its available. There is a chance that the Canadian offer was the best that could be afforded at the time. That does lead to ask the question, Why?

    If things are all fine in the management of the Barbados Fire Service then why should it not be planning and budgeting for the replacement of firefighting gear as it has always done in the past? What has changed either internally or in the relationship with government? I am not qualified to answer or comment on either of those points.

    The firefighters have offered their perspective on the internal management and whilst I accept that there is always a gap in thinking between managers and the troops, the service managers should not be dismissing or choosing not to listen to workforce concerns. A professional service is a well trained and well equiped one.

    Just to touch on sucession planning. Yours is a small service and there is limited opportunity for development and promotion, and so promoting from within is naturally the preferred option. Every post that goes to an outsider is a break in the promotion prospects of all. However, there is something to be said for bringing new blood every now and then. A different way of thinking and alternative experiences can bring its advantages.

    Wayne McCollin first of all commiserations at not getting the firefighting job in Barbados. We note your feedback on the circumstances how handmedown equipment is usually dealt with in the examples you offered.

    However we wish to make the point that the disgruntled firemen who have been posting to this topic seem to have more of a concern with the management style and practices of the current system.

    Why the attack on McCollin? He was only presenting a different perspective on the situation. The Government knew that Chief Mayers was an unsuitable candidate for the post. Yet, they appointed him Chief only God knows why.

    The Chief had continued to make bad decisions that reflect poorly on the Fire Service. Moral is at an all time low, this is what you get when you place square pegs on round holes. It is time for change the department deserves better, Barbados deserves better. Lets hope that this latest situation will his last major embarrassment before he goes home.

    I’m not certain that I was being colonial in my thinking or comments but if that came through then I’m truly sorry.

    I don’t think it was necessarily the case that the old colonial ‘masters’ were offering hand outs. in our example this was me and other black colleagues seeing a need in the region, that we still relate to in many ways, and wanting to see our sisters and brothers in the profession having the best chance they can in staying safe.

    I take it from the colonial comment that there is a deeper issue at stake here. I also realise that being an outsider any further comment I make will offend some if not most of those who post here.

    At the time of independence I’m sure that a great deal of thought went into what was to be the country’s motto and ‘pride and industry’ was a fair representation of Barbados’ aspiration for itself and the future.

    Through industry and hard work Barbados did become a place that we all could become proud of. But is there a danger in that and does pride indeed come before a fall?

    The Island’s success gave it and its people the rightful confidence in what had been achieved and a true sense of pride and expectations to match.

    So as I said in my earlier posting, if our firefighters have deserved the best they should get the best. But the best does come at a price. And money is part of the reality check for all Bajans.

    How much will the Dollar get for your money at this point in time? If firefighters need new uniform that has to be imported from Europe or North America. I questioned the planning and budgeting of the service management to match demands but if you considere the world financial position at this time that budgeting can’t be easy.

    I don’t know the facts so can only speculate like everyone else posting here. I am also not suggesting that Bajans should be too proud to beg but what do you do when reality strikes?

    I am humble enough to accept that just having a passport doesn’t make me a Bajan and having been reared in Britain has certainly influenced my thinking, but there is a chance that there is more to this situation than first meets the eye and it doesn’t necessarily make to big a dent in the nation’s pride.

    I am glad that someone has started this site so that people can see whats really going on in THE BARBADOS FIRE SERVICE . There are alot of problems within the service which are falling on deaf ears and blind eyes. The Chief fire officer can only do what he is told (by he lackies) to do because he lacks management skills and we all know that so don’t bash him poor fellow. The service is divided into two catagories (1) the officers that get everything and (2) the officers that get nothing. And it has become very annoying for some of us but i want to tell my workmates of the service to please give the public 150% when we have to respond to any emergency. I don’t care about the fire service no more my only concern is the general public because if you don’t hold a shirt tail or talk names in the service you don’t get nothing (e.g) NO TRAINING, NO COURSES, NO EXPOSURE . But the good ones that doing all of the degrading things in the service are the ones that are getting everything. Alot of dirty things are going on in the service that needs to be address urgently but the people at the top are just sweeping them under the carpet. I will bring all the dirty linen to light ……… to be continued.

    Hello readers. My main concern in the Barbados Fire Service is the level of corruption stated earlier by Mr.Smoke Cat .. my querry goes a little deeper. This may suprise most people but I DEALING WITH DIRTY PEOPLE SO I AM GOING IN THE DIRT WITH THEM.. I am going to expose these serpents that lie in the darkness poisoning peoples minds and feeding on the goals and aspirations of other fire officers. These BASTARDS are doing a lot of immoral things and our statue that..THING we call a fire chief is doing or saying nothing . All he does is compliment these serpents who by the way are fire service instructors. These so-called instructors were appointed to the post by that ‘THING’ .They began instructing the recruits and instead of instilling disciplin ,morals and training ,these snakes were more busy trying to instilled their penises into the recruits and other female instructors. And that THING ,that STATUE, that DISGRACE FOR A FIRE CHIEF Knew of all this and did nothing..wanna aint see corrupt yet .”I COMMING with a list .wanna gun hear from me in d future”

You make people think that fire officers have a personal vendatta against the chief fire officer. I am extremely thankful for this blog ,’the people’ can now air their veiws without the usual bullying of the administration. You three are the most selfish ,unethical cocksuckers I ever came across. I wouldn’t like to meet none of you in person because I think you would make my stomach sick. The ‘people’ are having and expressing their issues but you three are trying to police this blog to make contributors talk about only YOUR issues……. You know what I think , you three people are..maybe retired or have a damn lot of time on your hands. Every cat fight the 3 muskateers does be at.

I would really like to see the investigators come to the fire service and drag some of these celebrated criminals within the fire service through the news paper too. These fire service crooks seem to be immune to the law courts. One of these individuals got a variety of the ‘peoples’ computer equipment and accessories at his house as his own. What a fraud !! If this ACTING Sub Officers squandered articles could each turn into an animal he would have a zoo in st . Phillip …. THE GREAT PHAROAH HAS SPOKEN

    There is a spirit of infidelity possessing the instructor regime. Now readers , can you believe that the fire chief is portraying these so-called instructors as QUEEKEE CLEAN……. But Two instructors in particular just getting their groove on by acting like wild rabbits if you get what I mean ,they just cant get enough of each other. These two individuals are separately married by the way. And you know what really sweetens up the pot ? EVERYBODY KNOWS including the officer in charge ,who is a self proclaimed christian and has the same surname as the union guy..what a hypocritical yardfowl . Have a merry xmas everybody …wanna may hear after the holidays plus I need a long time recover,talking about these rusty cock suckers just makin me sick..

    Hope evrybody had a merry xmas.I want to give you all something to think about . You all may reply on this blog or discuss it among yourselves. Now,during this christmas season , an order circulated thoughout the Barbados Fire Service that ‘no lieu leave (for readers outside this department ,extra off days) is to be granted until further notice. However a female officer was granted ,christmas day and boxing day off,leaving the other stations short-staffed . Please note,I have nothing against this female officer,she has great potential and is one of the very few individuals within the service who has principles.But my issue is against that unethical sick minded NCO who granted that leave. He is well loved within the department by that statue (fire chief) and many high ranking officials. He is one of those horny instructors I have mensioned earlier. One suggession I must make though,he should play the lottery because he is one lucky man,this man wrecked so many mariages and relationships that its a wonder that he is still alive,he is my hero. A true yardfowl with a box of doggies, he disobeahed an order and deserved to be brought up on disiplinary charges but this is a corrupt department so therefore he is squeeky clean

    I have a question? The way this pharoah character is writing ,it seems as though this individual is trying to divert attention from themselves. I think this individual is among the villians that he is writting about. He has too much information.
