May as well concede defeat you'll never be able to type louder than the voices in this guys head are talking. His hatred for Firefighters is only surpassed by his own self loathing and of course our own pitiful opinions of him. Though I must say I do enjoy watching him make an a$$ of himself time and time again. jus sayin

Do I really need to repeat myself? All the information you require is a matter of public record and much of it is available on the web all YOU have to do is look and ask. As far as the "Barney" name not once have I ever referred to ANYONE on this site as such, I dare you to prove me wrong, I have and contine to believe that the "Guest" poster is not and has never been a Police Officer I think to refer to him as such is an insult to all Police Officers and I have far too much respect for that profession to do so. I find it interesting that someone who goes to such great lengths to remain faceless and nameless while disparaging so many would be comfortable using the word coward in referance to others, I believe the operative word here would be transferrance. That cup of coffee is still waiting for you all you have to do is come on over. jus sayin

Hmmmm, back again are we? I see the memories of your past embarrasments have faded. Just for the hell of it....which eight hours of the day do you feel need fire protection or better yet which 16 don't? Oh and what two days of the week don't need any protection at all? jus sayin

So, What your saying is that your Smart Phone....isn't? jus sayin

Well said and just for the record most Towns are mismanaged the ones that are not are more the exception than the rule unfortunately. As far as teacher salaries we pay these costs because that's what it takes to make a living wage in a state with one of the highest costs of living in the country, you do get what you pay for, as a Firefighter people would say that I'm paid far too much yet I live in Kearny own a modest home here haven't owned a new car since 1981 and my children attend the public schools and like the rest of you my bank account is far from abundant maybe even embarrasing,lol. As far as a merger reducing the needs for multiple Chiefs and Superintendants, yes you are right but unfortunately those are the last positions to go, face it the people making the decisions during a merger are those very people and they're not about to put themselves out of a job now are they? Case in point North Hudson Regional Fire Dept, those Towns are in even worse shape almost 20 years after the merger and I find myself over there backing them up during fires more now than ever. Now I'll tell you what I think is one of the biggest problems, you cannot fund education through property taxes, no way no how. There I said it Of course if your mismanaging the money in the first place it doesn't make a difference where your getting it from now does it? As far as the State subsidising the Towns, well that's one way of putting it another way to look at it is they're giving us back some of the money we pay them, right? I kinda figured my post was going to ruffle a few feathers and was expecting to catch hell but other than the usual village idiot response your post and the others were a pleasant surprise. Thanks jus sayin

Harrison has been the beneficiary of literally hundreds of millions of dollars in State and Federal aid over the years. Yet your financial problems continue to escalate even after decimating your public safety and services to curb costs. And here it is again the outcry to merge with Kearny, funny how that only comes after the millions you received are gone and there is no more coming, at least in the near future. You say that Kearny should not exist as a Town due to its size and a merger is the way to go for the benefit of both Towns tax payers? What an incredibly self-serving statement. Of course any Kearny taxpayer with half a brain would be completely against any sort of merger with Harrison and for a lot more reasons than your Debt. Over the years we've watched the nonsense that passes for politics and government in your Town but it is your Town so cest la vie. I doubt that anyone here in Kearny is surprised at your situation. No things here in Kearny are far from perfect but they're our problems and we are not looking for another town to shoulder them for us. You made your choices, you chose your redevelopments and Soccer stadium and if they had the results you were hoping for, no matter how far-fetched you wouldn't be able to find the word "merger" in your dictionary much less use it in a sentence, and who'd blame you? But that's not the case and for Kearny merging with Harrison would only ensure our demise while your politics as usual continued and the Kearny taxpayers footed the bill in even higher taxes and lower property values. It's your Town they're your problems now step up and fix them,the answer is not and will never be on this side of the border. jus sayin

Sorry but you are mistaken, I never said I was coming for you. What I did say was that eventually I would find out who you were and make sure everyone on this board knew it too. And that I'm sure scares the living bejesus out of you,lol. Fires? Funny you ask, there have been several this past week along with a couple of rollovers and extrications. You know why you don't know about them? Because we put them out, that's our job,if we were having "big" fires every week then we wouldn't be doing a very good job of protecting our public now would we? We're also in Jersey City, Union City, North Bergen,Bayonne and other towns every week backing them up and covering their Towns. Of course you don't have to take my word for it just go to 109 Midland Ave. and find out for yourself. Now since it's quite apparent that you are afraid of me bring as many friends as you may think you need to bolster your lack of courage when you come for coffee, I'll make an extra pot, hell I'll even bake you a cake. You do have friends don't you? If not I'm sure with all your money you can rent some. jus sayin

Actually most people especially my co-workers know exactly who I am as do many people who read this board, though it seems to be challenging to you. I've given you my work address as well as my schedule and of course invited you to come have coffee, there all your questions would be answered and in so doing all who read this board have the same opportunity. Alas all you've been able to accomplish is making threats and alluding to being a stalker something that comes as no surprise to me. Just think you could be the one to "out" me and prove to all on this board that you really are the "man" you claim to be and not the coward we all see. Funny how you've never issued a similar challenge, could it be that you know very well I'd show up? Hmmmm? You want my name? Man up and show up. jus sayin

As KPDPipes has stated Comp time was accepted by both the KPD and KFD to save jobs, for the FD the number was 15 INITIALLY meaning that more were to follow. Now I'll repeat this once again, not one member of the KFD recieves ANY overtime from the Chief of the Dept. right down the ranks and as per the agreement with the Town there will be no paid reimbursments for comp time nor will comp time owed be allowed to carry over past May 31 2012. Now go ahead and make some more statements that the KFD is getting O/T but it will still be a lie. BTW just for your information the uniform color of both the KFD and KPD is Blue. jus sayin

Funny that you deviate from your previous opinions that Firefighters do nothing and incur no more danger during the course of their day than the average Joe, now it's they knew the dangers when they signed up. So your way of "sticking by your opinion" is to make bullsh!t statements about people and events that you appear to have no comprehension about.... anonymously? I'm sure the authors of both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights along with those Americans who have given and are giving their lives in defense of this Country would be proud of the way in which you choose to exercise those "rights". Good for you, though by your very nature you are the reason that Cowards do not have their own group of affiliation, nobody's willing to step up. You are so very right in your statment that in all lives some rain will fall, it's called karma and it's what makes me smile when I read your posts, cause she's a B**ch. As far as you "loving" Police Officers, oh well.... I guess they got the short straw. jus sayin

"By the way Jus I hope you are wearing your helmet when you ride that bike of yours to protect that soft uneducated head of yours." Why? Is that what happened to you? Been in the "real" world all my life, BTW didja get your property tax rebate yet? Didn't think so. jus sayin

For someone who claims to have it so good you sound awfully bitter. Trolling the Boards? Nah, I just enjoy pushing your buttons and then reading your half-assed illiterate attempts at revenge. It makes me smile and sometimes I even laugh. Your my own personal little clown, now go ahead, make me laugh some more. jus sayin

Translation: As I peddled down the street on my new BMX that I bought on Friday with my birthday money, I noticed several men wearing FD shirts moving furniture. I stopped by the Little Jimmy truck for a bubble gum ice and on my way back to watch the men work I hit a bump fell off my bike dropped my ice and scraped my knee. The men helped me up and offered to buy me another ice but I was crying and so mad I went straight home and made up this story to make me feel better. Mom put my training wheels back on and said I have to practice more before I can take them off, stupid bike! jus sayin

The new hire was the result of the conclusion of a lawsuit brought on by an individual that the Town chose to pass over for hire, as I understand it the Town was ordered by the court to hire so there was no choice and the vote by the Town council would be moot. As far as saving O/T there is no cost for overtime, the members of the KFD from the top down recieve no overtime pay and work for comp-time on an hour for hour basis, this was done to prevent 15+ firefighters from being laid off. As far as I know the KPD is also operating in the same manner. As an aside, I noticed my taxes haven't dropped yet. jus sayin

Nope not 1,but feel free to keep guessing. You come on this website and demand answers and nobody gives them to you, that should tell you something, I could easily provide you with the information your looking for but why? You'll never admit your wrong and will accuse me of making them up which is why I provided you with the location of that information so you could see for yourself but you haven't done that,why is that? As far as the kid in Mom's basement image along with a host of others you've read, that's the image people have of YOU after reading YUUR posts, it's the image your writing conjures up in peoples minds when they read it, just like you think of me as a fat useless uneducated slob, yet you've refused to stop by and have a cup of coffee so you can see for yourself which of course proved you a coward....you should have quit back then but I guess common sense isn't your strong point. By continuing to allow you to post KOTW enables you to do more damage to yourself and humiliate yourself in ways that no one else here could ever hope to do. Even as a wannabe Troll you are a failure. It's going to be a beautiful weekend, you should get out and enjoy it, this computer stuff just doesn't seem to be your bag. jus sayin

Nope, not zero.... Guess again. Weekends here got any plans? Or is it just you, your keyboard and the tube sock again. jus sayin

"It's a quarter to three, there's no one in the place but you and meeeee" Who luvs ya Baby?, Your computer does. jus sayin

Hmmmm, Though I tend to agree that as brush fires go yesterdays was pretty small it does beg the question, what were you doing there Nancy? Stalking the Firefighters again? Please tell me you didn't have to go home for some "private time" afterwards. Weekends here and your all alone with your keyboard....again. I pity you. jus sayin

Once again, Every bit of information you want and more is available in Kearny Fire Headquarters, 109 Midland Ave. Just think you can go there and find out for yourself and then report back here with your findings. There's only one reason why you wouldn't, you already know what everyone here knows. Your whole foundation on this and probably many other forums is prevarication as a means to inflame a response though it doesn't work here very well does it? As a matter of fact it's been blowing up in your face big time. Or to put it simply..... your a liar and a coward. Have a nice day,I know I am. jus sayin

So your governing body with the support of you the people make poor financial decisions in redevelopment,hack your public safety to pieces in order to try to make up for those poor decisions all the whle running your Town into the ground playing the blame game. And now you expect Kearny and it's residents to foot the bill and bail you out? Never. Get your Great and Honorable governor Christie to help you out. In for a penny, in for a pound. jus sayin

"dp", It's posts like yours that negate all the posts that people like "guest" vomit up. I'm happy to hear that when the time came you and your husband got everything you needed because that is our job. No Firefighter wants to see a lost life on his watch much less someones belongings in a fire or worse their home regardless of how unpreventable these things sometimes are we still regard them as a loss, a "what else could we have done?" situation. I hope you never need us again but if you do we'll do all that we can for you. That's our job. Have a great weekend. jus sayin

Drunk again Nancy? A mind is a terrible thing to waste but in your case it's not much of a loss. Stop by for a cup of coffee and I'll tell you all you want to know...... try to be sober. jus sayin

Weekends here again,lol. Ok I'll bite how about posting that link so we all may read it? My guess is that as with all your "articles" and "information" we'll never see the actual thing. Wanna guess why? Go ahead make me eat crow. I dare you... jus sayin

On more than one occasion I have provided you with the location of the information to these questions and how to go about acquiring it. Yet months go by and still the same question posted over and over again. Why is that? Expecting someone else to run out and do your work for you? For someone that is constantly accusing Firefighters of being fat, lazy and stupid you seem to be exibiting a lot of those "qualities" yourself. jus sayin

Ahhhh, There you are. Yes fire is still fire and in response to your comments in other posts as a rule "most" of the time fires usually begin as "small" fires, it's keeping them that way where it can get tricky. What additional duties? Ok I'll bite... Mass casulty decontamination, confined space rescue, Haz-mat incidents and EMS are just a few that come to mind. It's only natural that a firefighter would have more insight into the inner workings of his Dept. as opposed to the ordinary citizen in the street. Just like a mechanic does in relation to the inner workings of your car. If that were not the case you wouldn't have had to ask "what additional duties?", you would have already known. Right? jus sayin
