February 4, 201313 yr We can throw all of the "what ifs" at this we want, but to me, the question is whether this is a proper use of resources. I think the answer is no. When making these decisions, you have to do so without using emotion. With the limited resources our governments have at this time, you have to prioritize, without using emotions.

February 4, 201313 yr So I read the story in the Enquirer concerning the dog rescue and find out that they used the Northern Kentucky Technical Rescue Team. The team includes one or two firefighters from several Northern Kentucky fire departments. Its members specialize in everything from animal rescues and water rescues to incidents involving hazardous materials.
February 4, 201313 yr Possibly true and the best argument posed so far. If Fire says that's why they are doing it then it's hard to argue. Good response. Let me think about it. I have had this same discussion, live, with a policeperson when they were called to my business by a customer because they claimed their car was damaged on my property. I told the policeperson it was too bad they had to answer that kind of call, the customer was a piece of work, but the policeperson said it is safer that they responded because sometime those situations can escalate. I can see that in the dog example too.

I don't agree, but try telling this to our Government. Had to say it.

February 4, 201313 yr Author So this is much ado about nothing? Only if every town and county has such a team. My guess is they do not.
February 4, 201313 yr I'd like to say I agree, but if it's between my dog, and someone I've never met, a complete stranger, etc., I can't with 100% certainty say I wouldn't pick my dog. I'd like to believe I wouldn't, but if I'm being honest, I'd struggle with it. :idunno:If I'm picking between my dog and a stranger I can probably give you a 100% answer. Most people on here aren't going to like it... In regards to the thread, it looks like it has been hashed out. On a side note I know EXACTLY how someone would feel if their house burned to the ground because the fire department was off doing something else. Only in my case, it was opening morning of deer season and they were all in the woods...
