Sorry K, Mr. Murphy is responsible for safety. And his credibility is in question because of his past positions and rationale for safety in several instances.

1.On the shell driveway issue he actually claimed that his personnel would be impacted in their ability to handle a gurney. THAT IS ABSURDITY.

2. He claimed that the water truck and addition of three firefighters was an interim solution to the lack of fire hydrants. But when questioned by Mr. Batte if the hydrants could be installed in 60 days, he responded that he would still make the requisition, thereby providing evidence that the interim solution was just a ruse.

3. And now we have Station 51.

Any idiot can make recommendations to spend monies. They real leaders work in a resource limited environment and do not lament to the community of the impending doom.

All this points to a Chief that is unable to manage with constraints. It is so obvious. Now the Council has to deal with another issue that could easily be addressed within the department if Mr. Murphy had the skills. It is unbelievable that he complains of the benefits of mutual aid.
