ok first off I'm usually not one to make posts so I do not go on the forums and when I hear there is one that reflects on colleages and paints them including myself in a unwarrented negative light I feel the rest of the story should be made known. this was not an attempt at "Backhanding" but there are 2 sides to every story and I felt that more info on this discussion was justified.

I felt it was necessary to reveal the whole situation. Not the bits and pieces of a story to falsley accuse people of negligence in not reporting an incident. And since this was posted on a public forum everyone has the right to voice their opinion on this public forum.

good day all I just heard this thread existed and I felt this warranted a response since I work out of the station in question and shed a bit of a dark light on us. Now this is all about the reporting of a possible critical equipment failure and heresay by a fire fighter who stated that the defib was in that state 4 days prior to it being reported.Now during these four days there would have been 8 unit checks done during this time,and I find it hard to believe that it would have been overlooked at that time. Not only that but in this system we have "required" weekly deep cleans done on our units and equipment. Now during these four days a deep clean was done on this unit and equipment. We do them on Sunday's, how do I know this was done? because I did it personally with a casual partner that day and furthermore I personally cleaned the defib in question and THERE WERE NO WIRES HANGING OUT OF THE DEFIB 2 days prior to it being reported. I find the comments made by Connie to insult my integrity and the integrity of my coworkers out of this station.And in regards to the firefighter who noticed them 4 days prior to that his comments were investigated and he has been relieved of his role in the fire dept. for his histor of blurring the truth.And I have intimate knowledge of this not being the first instance of "PASSING THE BUCK " game being played by connie. And by the way Connie we read your email to the firefighters quite the interesting read indeed.I feel the whole story here should be put out there since this thread has been created. Especally since it has a big poor me feel with a side of it's not my fault!!!
