  1. This is hilarious! No wonder this province is billions of dollars in debt.

  2. Yeah the province is billions in dept because of the $2 in fuel it cost the rescue to respond to a Man Down call.

  3. we respond to medical calls regardless of location. the only cost is the fuel to drive there. our members simply return to station if they get there and not needed. no one gets billed. cheers.

  4. Wow for someone who followers first responders so much you think you'd have half a clue about why they respond, there are protocols in place and a dispatcher can't wave that at their desecration.

  5. Oh, thank goodness. Thought maybe the DECH staff had called to report the gates of hell opening up over the scrapping of the two doctor rule.

  6. If this is under the protocols for First Responders I think they need to re-think the whole issue of sending first responders to a place that already has the capability to deal with the matter. The fire department's resources should not be conflicted or compromised with something this foolish. Since the person could not even be found, I must assume the obvious - he hobbled or was taken to the ER, just a corridor away. I agree with the first comment - no wonder this province is in huge debt. The basis of sound economic policies is to count the $2, multiplied by the potentially enormous number of times it is used. As far as 17:51's comments: "the only cost is the fuel to drive there. our members simply return to station if they get there and not needed. no one gets billed," I'm sorry, this is also nonsense. The cost of the salaries and vehicles has to be considered, and if such calls happen regularly, there is obviously a potential for over-staffing unnecessarily, which is a huge problem in the New Brunswick Government and the municipalities. If you don't understand basic economic principles, please don't comment.

  7. I note to my fellow Frederictonians the immense positive value of Charle's blog and his free-thinking free-speaking contribution to society. He asked a question (in his characteristic form of thesis demanding antithesis) that might come to the minds of many of us. Because of the wide reach of Charles's literally "man in the street" media voice, a responsible party answered quickly and enlightened us all. This is how the free media is supposed to work... not the censored, biased IRVING-monopoly way...

  8. Even with the number of fires in New Brunswick (which seems to be fairly often), its highly doubtful that the fire department are over staffing because of calls like this one. However, its a valid point that the system of responders needs to be made more public and discussed. The most dangerous thing at an accident can be 'too many cooks' and I've seen accidents where, particularly in rural areas, there were way too many responders at a scene.

    But I think the reverse is true. There are typically SO few fires in most cities that without going to these calls fire departments would spend 80% of their time sitting around doing nothing (which I've seen a lot of).
