I'm trying to think of the last freeze when the fire truck was unable to get out of the old fire station! I wonder what the refrigerator in the chief's office was for? Not very handy for emergencies.

There will still be the fire dept and police dept with their own work force and responsibilities. I believe what the Mayor is moving towards is an Administrative consolidation.

People are going to loose their jobs, nobody WANTS that to happen. The economy doesn't care how big or small our town is. Unfortunatly there was a whole lot of spending in a short amount of time. Good luck Hodges, and God bless you in your future endevours. Any decision the mayor will have to make will not be an easy one. People are going to loose their jobs, nobody WANTS that to happen.

How many robberies do we have a day? Does a fire station need 3 brand new refrigerators...the police dept can share them now. Does a fire station need heated floors? Now the police can enjoy warm toes too. Does a fire station need $100,000 for furniture? Now at least the police can enjoy that furniture too. In fact I think we could move the library and the interpretive center in that fire station and still have room. How many fires do we have a day? How many robberies do we have a day?

The Ocean Shore’s fire department and Jim Hodges are all about service to the community, in many cases actually driving down the costs of insurance for residents of Ocean Shores. In hard economic times it is easy to find a scapegoat, but at what cost? This is a member of the community whom will likely lose everything he has worked so hard for (perhaps his retirement) in the name of service. Do not be naive and think that any one man can go out and just build a fire station, these were decisions made and agreed upon by others. Please be kind with your comments and think about this person’s family and friends. I wouldn’t be so quick to judge Jim Hodges and his staff.

Ocean Shores is a small town. That was an interesting read but we aren’t talking about a big city. Ocean Shores is a small town.
