With Walsh only? Wait till they find out with whom else. I'm quite sure someone will open up their mouth in this case, some fingers will type down what keeps going around in that dept. I reserve my comments

How did I end up here? This is old stuff

Does this involve either the hot blonde or hot red head EMTs at 22?

This involves EMTs, Human Resourse MG like Toni though she got demoted and so did James Walsh, rookies at that department since they don't know what they get themselves into and if they want to continue with their profession they have to either follow that cheating chain.


P.s an ex FD volunteer

The Centrality of the Cross

The events of Calvary continue to be relevant to Christians of all ages.

Read | John 19:17-22

In Jesus’ day, crucifixion was used by the Roman government as a method of executing criminals. God transformed the cross into a symbol that unites Christians everywhere. It stands at the heart of what we believe and serves as a central focus of the gospel message. When we consider the cross, we will think about . . .

Jesus and His perfect life. Our Savior left heaven to dwell on earth and become one of us. While here, He obediently accomplished the work His Father had given Him (John 5:19). Because of His perfect life, He alone was qualified to be our substitute and bear God’s judgment for our sins.

Crucifixion. Christ went to the cross in order to reconcile us to God. He suffered a painful death on our behalf, and through His sacrifice, our sin debt has been paid. God’s justice was fully satisfied at Calvary. Nothing else is required for our salvation.

Resurrection and ascension. Three days after Jesus was buried, God raised Him from the dead. The Savior’s sacrifice on the cross was accepted as payment for our sins, and the way to heaven was opened for all who trust in Jesus. Our resurrected Lord, having appeared on earth to many people, ascended to live forever with His Father. Jesus conquered death and made it possible for us to dwell in heaven with Him someday.

Every Sunday I invite people to place their faith in Jesus Christ. Because of the cross and what happened there, such an invitation has great value to the hearer. In fact, the events of Calvary continue to be relevant to Christians of all ages. Take time today to thank the Lord for the cross.

The Call to Holiness

When we allow Jesus to speak, love, and serve through us, others will be compelled to ask why we live such vibrant lives.

Read | 1 Peter 1:13-2:3

Believers are called to be sanctified people who live holy lives. Holiness means being set apart by God for His purposes. This process of sanctification begins when we receive Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, and it continues for the rest of our lives.

The Holy Spirit draws our will and longings to align with His. As we submit to Him, we will begin to desire what He desires. With His leading, we will choose to consecrate our conduct, our conversation, and ultimately our character to God alone. He teaches us how to make holiness a way of life rather than see it as some lofty place of enlightenment we can never reach. God has placed us where we live and work, not to be “pious” or to isolate ourselves as if in incubators, but to reflect who Christ is as we walk among other people. If we are in the process of being conformed to Jesus’ likeness, then the longer we live and mature spiritually, the more others should be able to recognize the Savior in us. Our hearts should grow softer, and our willingness to love and serve should increase.

If we are Christ’s ambassadors, then our lives must be holy; otherwise, we are misrepresenting Him. If we are the body of Christ, then our hands are His hands, our eyes are His eyes, and our feet are His feet. When we allow Jesus to speak, love, and serve through us, others will be compelled to ask why we live such vibrant lives. All followers of Christ are called to be holy. To answer this call daily is to embrace the Great Commission.

Failure to Listen to God

What you do when you are criticized is a good indication of the maturity of your faith.

Read | 2 Timothy 4:1-4

In his second letter to Timothy, Paul solemnly charges him to preach the Word and to reprove and rebuke with great patience (2 Tim. 4:2). A pastor could hardly have a more difficult assignment than this, because few people respond well to correction. What you do when you are criticized is a good indication of the maturity of your faith. The Bible tells us that “he who neglects discipline despises himself” while “he who listens to reproof acquires understanding” and “will dwell among the wise” (Prov. 15:31-32).

Every time criticism comes our way, we stand at a crossroads of possibilities for good or evil. We can either embrace correction and grow up or reject it and start down the slippery slope described in 2 Timothy 4. In this passage, Paul outlines the behavior of those who become tired of reproof. He says they will reject sound doctrine and instead embrace the teaching of those who “tickle” their ears (v. 3). This means they’ll hunt for churches or religious teachers who fail to apply the whole counsel of God. Then they “will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths” (v. 4). Most people in this state probably couldn’t trace how they went from truth to myths, but it may have started when they rejected some hard saying from the Bible or ignored good advice from a critic.

We can’t afford to “turn away our ears”—not even from critics who are immature, ignorant, or evil. Remember, if God spoke through Balaam’s donkey (Num. 22:28), He can speak through anyone. Be mindful to keep your ears open to God’s voice, regardless of the form it may come in.

Damn.. I left too soon...she could've done a "ride-along" and blew me in my buggy on the way to a call...LoL. Funny thing too, isn't jj working as BC04? Catch somebody fucking on the job and assign him to the easiest office to sneak bitches in, with the exception of the basement office at fs11....that place was bang-bang paradise!

Praying Past Our Attitude

When we come to the throne of God in submission, trust, and gratitude, we are going to hear the truth from our caring Father.

Read | Proverbs 16:5

When it comes to our ability to hear God’s voice, few things have more impact than our attitude. If we come to Him in rebellion, self-sufficiency, or pride, what should we expect to receive? The truth is, we’re not going to hear much of anything because our mindset is completely slanted away from the Lord. We can’t expect to see Him if we’re looking in the opposite direction. So we need to reexamine the way that we approach God. Specifically, we should be mindful of three crucial areas.

First, we must come to our Father submissively, bowing before Him in humility and thanking Him for His accessibility. As today’s verse indicates, pride is something that God absolutely hates. He will not allow us to enter His presence with arrogance in our hearts.

Second, we must trust God, knowing that He will guide us in the right direction and never steer us down a wrong path. Remembering His past faithfulness can grow our trust.

Third, we must be thankful in our speech and mindset, showing Him we recognize and appreciate the countless blessings He has bestowed upon us. We should demonstrate, as the saying goes, an “attitude of gratitude.”

When we come to the throne of God in submission, trust, and gratitude, we are going to hear the truth from our caring Father. But if these characteristics are not present in our life, we may miss His message. Prayerfully consider your attitude with regard to these three areas, asking the Lord to realign your heart and mind with His perfect will.

Why the religious quotes in thus thread but not the slut EMT one?

Fully Alive

Before the Lord rescued us, we were spiritually dead. But once we received Jesus as our Savior, we became alive in Him (Rom. 6:11).

Read | 1 Corinthians 15:22

Because the apostle Paul recognized the limitations of human understanding, he used word pictures to illustrate spiritual concepts. In several letters, Paul wrote about being “alive in Christ.” He pointed out that before the Lord rescued us, we were spiritually dead. But once we received Jesus as our Savior, we became alive in Him (Rom. 6:11).

Paul wanted us to realize that we have a new freedom, a new nature, and a new standard of conduct. To show this, he chose the word pictures of circumcision and baptism (Col. 2:9-17). While neither one represents the complete picture, together they provide a starting point for us to grasp the glorious foundational truth of being alive in the Lord.

If we use human reasoning to help us grasp a spiritual truth like this one, we often become confused. Only through the teaching of the Holy Spirit can we begin to comprehend its full meaning. Besides, God’s living Word is meant to be experienced. We can know the fact that Jesus has given us a new nature, but only when we experience this new nature and the freedom it brings do we truly discover the scriptural meaning of “made alive.”

Think about the examples Paul chose: baptism and circumcision. Set aside your human logic, and depend on the Holy Spirit for understanding. Believe that you are a new creation—that the old nature is gone and has been replaced by the new one (2 Cor. 5:17). Practice what you learn. Spiritual joy will fill your being as you experience the truth of the revealed mystery of being fully alive in Christ.

Very Good Question!

Next Victim....I don't understand what you're getting at...Are you saying Stroup and JJ are doin it...or Stroup is the next one to get caught?

God’s Scriptural “Benefit Package”

God’s plans for you do not stop at salvation.

Read | 2 Timothy 3:14-17

This world offers financial plans, weight loss programs, and a host of other opportunities that all claim to yield beneficial results. But nothing is as profitable to us as Scripture.

God’s plans for you do not stop at salvation. His goal is that you become conformed to the likeness of His Son, and the tool He uses to achieve His purpose is the Bible. Today’s passage outlines His comprehensive program for your spiritual transformation.

The foundation is laid with the teaching of Scripture’s basic truths. These doctrines about God’s character and work anchor our souls during the storms of life and protect us from deception. Since we all have certain flesh patterns, perfection is impossible, and we sometimes fall into sin. But when Scripture offers reproof, we are convicted about our wrongdoing.

This is followed by correction. The Lord never convicts us and leaves us in the mess we have made. He provides what we need to make things right.

The final step is training in righteousness. Think of this as a one-on-one discipleship course with the Word of God. If we heed the instruction and discipline of Scripture, we’ll grow in obedience and godliness and eventually will find that we need less reproof and correction.

Full participation in God’s scriptural benefit package involves three steps: Read the Bible each day; believe everything God says in His Word—not just the parts that appeal to you (Heb. 4:2); and do what He says. You will become equipped and qualified to fulfill His purpose for you.

Why

She informed all of the c shift BMT several months ago that she was getting divorced. She wanted everyone to hear it from her mouth versus the rumor mill. The facts are she is the person who brought the rumor of her and JJ forward to JJ and to the attention of the DFCO. How about some respect for the truth.

He'll step on anyone blocking his advancement.

He'll try to screw any of his co-workers wives. He has no morals.

His wife and kids in Berlin, MD don't have a clue. (His gay brother in law (Ricky R) employed in Florida more than likely knows the truth)

Doesn't make sense...

She brought the rumor of her and jj forward to jj? Huh...?

It doesn't make sense because you don't want it to make sense and it doesn't fit the sensationalism of a story that is non existent.

This makes no sense

God Knows What You Need

When we take a look at the way Jesus treated the people around Him, we get a good illustration of God’s love.

Read | John 4:1-16

One reason we at times have a weak faith is because our view of God is faulty. That’s not totally surprising—after all, He is so big, how could we ever truly get an accurate picture of what He looks like, how He acts, or how He feels about us personally?

Knowing that we would need a way to understand Him, our heavenly Father revealed Himself through His Son. And so “the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). The better we get to know Jesus, the more we will understand the Father (14:9).

And when we take a look at the way Jesus treated the people around Him, we get a good illustration of God’s love. Think about the woman at the well in today’s Scripture passage. This was a person who had been outcast by society. The fact that she came to draw water during the heat of the day (4:6)—a time when no one else would be around— indicates that her exclusion from the townspeople was not just their idea; she herself felt the need to stay isolated.

But what did Jesus do? He loved her. He accepted her. He gave her what no one else would give: attention and respect. That is what He does for us as well. The Lord does not want us burdened by guilt, shame, or heartache. Nor does He want us to be secluded from other people. Instead, He calls us to become active participants in His kingdom.

Have you cut yourself off from those around you? Take hold of your Savior’s hand today, and start experiencing the joy of His acceptance.

Security

Bible verses about the eternal security of the believernbsp;

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."
1 Peter 1:3-5

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand."
John 10:27-29

"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39

Jude 1:24-25

Ephesians 4:30

"We desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises."
Hebrews 6:11-12

"That by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."
Hebrews 6:18-20

One battalion chief screwing another, (literally...not figuratively this time)..that may be a first. There was an assistant chief doing an EMS captain (at the ems6 bang bang palace)...an assistant chief doing a deputy chief (they were married though, so that probably doesn't count). At least one deputy chief has banged a FF (at the same time frame an EMS Captain was hitting it...one got demoted, one got promoted). Battalion Chiefs have screwed every rank beneath them (pun intended)....historically...EMS Captains typically stick to nurses, dispatchers and volunteers. (Bang Bang Daddy did his part to keep the dream alive for every interested nurse, dispatcher and volunteer he encountered).

This doesn't include The Mistake at The Lake in the late 80's....which is another thread unto itself...

There have been MANY sexually inappropriate circumstances that have occurred on duty in the county fire and rescue department over the years. This is nothing new. Two guys caught in the back of an ambo at Burke Lake, a lesbian secretly videotaping another female in the locker room/ bunkroom, multiple guys screwing females in the firehouse, multiple guys screwing each other in the firehouse, multiple firefighters screwing their co-workers spouses and a lot of sex in the "tower of power" known as the Massey Building. Someone ought to pick up on the details and produce a mini-series for TV.

The Bible tells us that “he who neglects discipline despises himself” while “he who listens to reproof acquires understanding” and “will dwell among the wise” (Prov. 15:31-32).

Every time criticism comes our way, we stand at a crossroads of possibilities for good or evil. We can either embrace correction and grow up or reject it and start down the slippery slope described in 2 Timothy 4. In this passage, Paul outlines the behavior of those who become tired of reproof. He says they will reject sound doctrine and instead embrace the teaching of those who “tickle” their ears (v. 3). This means they’ll hunt for churches or religious teachers who fail to apply the whole counsel of God. Then they “will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths” (v. 4). Most people in this state probably couldn’t trace how they went from truth to myths, but it may have started when they rejected some hard saying from the Bible or ignored good advice from a critic.

We can’t afford to “turn away our ears”—not even from critics who are immature, ignorant, or evil. Remember, if God spoke through Balaam’s donkey (Num. 22:28), He can speak through anyone. Be mindful to keep your ears open to God’s voice, regardless of the form it may come in.

I have heard of all of those things occurring; hell, who am I kidding...I was involved in a lot of them. With the exception the "mistake at the lake", I never heard any rumors of any "man on man love" though. I know there was a few gay guys on the job, but never knew them to consort with other firemen. Now the gal on gal action in the woman's bunkroom...I think there was a fair amount of that going on...

FireMEN have been getting laid in Fire stations since Ben Franklin was Fire Chief. We get more pussy then Rock stars, deal with it. Love, JJ!

God Knows What You Need

When we take a look at the way Jesus treated the people around Him, we get a good illustration of God’s love.

Read | John 4:1-16

One reason we at times have a weak faith is because our view of God is faulty. That’s not totally surprising—after all, He is so big, how could we ever truly get an accurate picture of what He looks like, how He acts, or how He feels about us personally?

Knowing that we would need a way to understand Him, our heavenly Father revealed Himself through His Son. And so “the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). The better we get to know Jesus, the more we will understand the Father (14:9).

And when we take a look at the way Jesus treated the people around Him, we get a good illustration of God’s love. Think about the woman at the well in today’s Scripture passage. This was a person who had been outcast by society. The fact that she came to draw water during the heat of the day (4:6)—a time when no one else would be around— indicates that her exclusion from the townspeople was not just their idea; she herself felt the need to stay isolated.

But what did Jesus do? He loved her. He accepted her. He gave her what no one else would give: attention and respect. That is what He does for us as well. The Lord does not want us burdened by guilt, shame, or heartache. Nor does He want us to be secluded from other people. Instead, He calls us to become active participants in His kingdom.

Have you cut yourself off from those around you? Take hold of your Savior’s hand today, and start experiencing the joy of His acceptance.

It's amazing what our supervisors leave laying around. Folders with URL addresses from this site and names associated with ether work stations or other locations (possibly meaning home)along with proceedings from Attorneys office. Be alert...

There was a poster in many Fairfax County Fire stations in the early 80's:

Be Alert! Fairfax County needs more Lerts!

Who remembers "The Big Eye in Fairfax"? Did the rumor mill or the powers that be ever decide who was running that site? I am thinking about starting a thread on Fairfax Underground to revive "The Big Eye in Fairfax". To avoid copyright infringement, Maybe we need an original name...any ideas? I am posting this on several active threads to get some input. Thanks.

We will have to revive "The Big Eye in Fairfax"....I am sure there are many more stories to be told!

Yep, internal affairs with I.T. Went to Yahoo and Google and retrieved URL address and found out who the owner was (retired now) Living in a southern state. I can assure you everyone is being monitored at least from activities from county stations.

I had always heard C.L. or R.K.....but I guess I was way off. I am guessing those names were circulated because one is a computer genius and the other is a shit-stirring ass...

Not saying they weren't involved as we all saw the hooded informant. Remember someone had to bank roll the initial setup once that was completed, there were numerous individuals with the authority who were reviewing and approving posts.

Yeah right. Where we're all the James Bond wanna-be's when the likes of Daddy Bang Bang was running around air-dropping on at least three wives of public servants. Instead of putting your scopes on those who post here about the dirty deeds of known repeated offenders, why don't you do a little preventative maintenance and create real consequences for the Daddy Bang Bangs in the department. Just my two cents.

Our Helper in Prayer

Just as the Spirit carries our needs to God, He also clarifies the Father’s will to us.

Read | Romans 8:26-27

Most Christians feel they need help in order to pray effectively. Even the apostle Paul admitted that he sometimes did not know how to petition the heavenly Father as he should. In the supernatural exchange between God and believers, the Holy Spirit acts as a vehicle for our communication, laying our needs and desires before the Father.

We humans make our requests with a very limited knowledge of the future and an impaired sense of what is actually best for us. Consequently, circumstances arise that cause us to wonder how we should pray. If all we know to ask is, “God, what is Your will?” then the Spirit, who knows the Father’s plans for us, tells Him of our need for understanding.

Our Father does not hide His will from us. He desires to equip believers with all the information necessary for making right decisions and for being continually conformed to the likeness of His Son. Just as the Spirit carries our needs to God, He also clarifies the Father’s will to us.

Some people find the power of prayer intimidating— “Be careful what you pray for, because you might get it,” goes the old joke. Believers sometimes quit praying before receiving an answer, because they are fearful of making the wrong request. However, the Holy Spirit’s divine nature prevents Him from going before God with a petition that is outside the Father’s plan. Instead, He intercedes to make the right request. He also impresses upon us the need to adjust our desires. Therefore, we can pray in every situation, knowing the Holy Spirit is our Helper.

Quite possible......CL is a computer geek....RK is a shit stirrer only looking out for his own advancement. Don't be fooled by RK's false attempts to be your buddy, he's only interested in his future profits. KuleyO's doesn't meet FDA standards, be careful if you eat there,

Bet there is some Local dues money backing an unapproved FDA soft served yogurt franchise. Secretary Treasurer, come on the only people who make more are the volunteer chiefs and presidents skimming from their bingo money.

yes..I have know R.K since the early 90's. If we could buy him for what he's worth, and then sell him for what he thinks he's worth, we could buy our own island. I wouldn't advise trusting him any farther than you could throw his ulgy big nosed ass...

I believe he learned the 3 Shell game of laundering money as a former volunteer at the Annandale Volunteer Fire Department.

Since someone died while playing these "games" I suppose this post makes you a prophet.

Fairfax FD is full of fake, cocky losers who think they are the shit. You fuckheads try to act so tough. You guys have no idea what real service is around. Nothing but trash that works there. TYFYS

Hey guys this looks pretty relevant to today's media circus no?

Firefighters like to act as Tough Guys. The truth is that they got their luch money stolen and girls never paid any attention to them.
Attachments:

>Rumor has it that Deputy Chief JJ Walsh is being demoted after having an affair with the department's Human Resource Manager, Toni Garcia. Garcia is married to a Fairfax County Police Officer.

No. You forget this is Fairfax County. This guy will be standing in his doorway with his hands raised when the cop shoots him. Either his hands will be raiser or he'll be holding a baby. Either way, he'll be saying "I don't want to die here today."

You people are fucked uuuup....
