I have a solution to saving ourselves, as Virginia Beach tax payers, gas dollars right here in our own city!!!
Keep the fire trucks from Station #11 and Station #14 from cruising the beach stripe!!!
We were down there Friday afternoon, Station #11 was also. Yes
they were cruising
the stripe right along with everyone else.
Friday night, same story with Station #11 again.
Saturday, son's birthday celebration and we were there all day. So was Station #11 fire truck.
All dang gone day off and on.
Only two of the firemen in the truck. Yes, it was the huge one. So if they get a call they surely have to take extra time to get out of the crowd at our beach area. Do they also have to swing by the station and pickup the rest of their crew? This is a huge safety risk on so many levels that the city is just letting happen.
The Hubby is down there now and called to tell me that Station #14 is showing itself today.
Didn't the city just crack down on this with city vehicles just this week? It was all over all three local news channels. What the heck am I missing here?
This crap went on all last summer with these two stations. Not again this summer with gas prices the way they are.
I seem to be the only concerned citizen about this issue.
Yes, I do realize these guys and gals have very dangerous jobs, but that is no excuse. They are being paid to do a job for the city, not cruise the beach stripe. I don't even want to hear that they are building tourist relations either.
