[quote=CA renter][quote=jficquette][quote=CA renter]1. They aren’t “personal errands,” no matter how many times you try to repeat it.
2. They are usually coming from a call or training exercise when they stop by the store, so they are not wasting any money.[/quote]
Are there rules about where about where they can take the vehicles on non fire fighting trips?
Are trips logged to show where when and why the vehicle was taken out of the station or from point to point?
I have never seen them fill up with fuel. Do firehouses have fuel pumps or do they go to a gas station?
Just curious on how it all works since we are on the subject.

1. Yes, there are very strict rules about where they can go and what they can do. One thing they absolutely cannot do is run “personal errands.”
2. Yes, the engines/trucks can be tracked. They are equipped with GPS systems (the ones I’m aware, of but some others might not be).
3. Most fire departments have their own fuel supply.[/quote]
Ok so they are not accountable for where they go since they don’t log it.
CAR, you will never convince me that going to get food is not “personal business”. It is for any private employer but the government has its own standards I see. Translated into “we can do no wrong”
