Hartsville Fire Department Moves Lumber In High-Tech Fasion

Posted by ThePeeDeeBarnGuy on 01/19 at 04:22 PM

It seems the Hartsville Fire Departments (South Carolina, 29550) has a new and improved trailer used to haul lumber purchased at Lowes on 1/19/2010.  The load was never strapped down, just covered with the hose cover and then drove out 5th street right by the Sonic Drive.  They were heading north on Hwy 15.  Where was the load going and why was an emergency service vehicle used?  It seems awfully expensive and to great of a gamble for equipment used for such noble purposes to be used to unsafely haul lumber!

You should have followed them. Thankfully they didn’t have to speed off to a fire.

Wow - lot of free time on your hands!  Get a life.  These firemen were doing what they are paid to do.  Did you notice there was more than one fireman there?  They are required to leave the station IN the truck!  What if your house was burning and they had to go back to the station for the truck??  Firemen are required to do alot more than just fight fires.  They were buying lumber to work on their training facility.  Next time why not go up to the firemen and ASK what they are doing.  They will be happy to answer any questions!  These are very dedicated guys and are very under paid and under appreciated for all the work they do.

If people would worry more about what they are doing to make this community better instead of what OTHER people are doing, it would be a much better place.

Why is it when someone in public service does something out of the ordinary, people have such great vision and can remember every detail. However, when a crime occurs everyone is deaf, dumb and blind.

That cop? He ran a red light. That ambulance? It was speeding going to Hardees for lunch. The Firemen? They were hauling WOOD! Oh God…

But the hit and run you just witnessed - nope, you didnt see a thing, because you don’t want to get involved.
