I agree with Kip Bowman. These firemen have been employed with the City of Rockingham for years.
These men put their lives in danger with every fire they respond to. The things that are going on and being done to them is wrong. It is not just about money.
These men are hard working individuals, some do work other jobs to provide for their families. Just go out and talk to their friends and families if you want to know what is happening. Talk to the police officers, a lot of people can tell you just how bad these men have been talked to and being treated.
The report in the paper was a watered down version.
Please support these men that respond to your calls. It may be your home they are saving, or your family member they are pulling out of an automobile accident to save their life.
What if these men went on strike. What would happen with no one there to respond. Citizens, think about all this when it comes time for re-election.
Support your firemen.
