Ed, I’m a Trenton firefighter responding to the person who called BackTalk about the fire truck that got stuck out on call. First, we know this was no citizen, this call came from within. Every citizen in Trenton is always respectful and thankful for the job we do. I’m sure they didn’t care that a fire truck got stuck in the mud while putting out a fire. These things happen; it’s part of the job. I want to say to the person who called BackTalk, you didn’t have the guts to say it to the face of the officer who was in charge of that truck and you don’t have the intelligence or know-how to understand that these things happen. That’s exactly some of the problems within this department. If you’re going to say something, you ought to stand up and at least put your name to it. This is Gus Tackacs. I work in Rescue Co. 1, Trenton Fire Department.

You tell ’em, Gus.—Ed. Note
