People in Meadview Don't Understand How Many Parcels Were NOT in the Old Grapevine FD, and are NOT in the LMRFD

Everyone needs to look at the map of Meadview to see how many people there don't pay banything to the LMRFD, yet get the same services as those of us who do.

Who Went to the Fire Station, Who Were the Firefighters they Talked To?

We need to know where these rumors are coming from about cutting firefighter pay.

Who was it that went to the fire station?

Who are the firefighters spreading this rumor?

Does anyone know the truth?

You're a bully, you try and force people to your will. I try to educate people. You are the most unprofessional so called businessman I've ever seen, even belittling your employees in front of customers.

You resort to name calling like a small child, and should not represent anyone.

This is the last time I will reply to your rants because of you're unprofessional conduct and name calling.

What gives this moron the right to speak for the community?  He has a big mouth with foolish stupid ideas, I do not want him representing me at all.

Name calling, really professional.

Why would anyone with mention their location to other country's? These are actions of a person who is concerned about fame, self status and just a brain dead zombie on a mission of no good. He has had little to stir up since the fire Dept issue is coming to an end soon.

More name calling.... I thought the point was to get visitors from other countries, they're called tourists.

I believe he should put is his own address on there also, It would be best if they tried the gas can idea there first,better then our homes. What better place to start then from where the foolish information started. Maybe his Russians friends can get the word out.

Learn to read... I didn't say someone tried anything, now did I? A gas can was on the side of the road and no one noticed. For you to even suggest that someone burn down our home after the church fires is reckless and irresponsible. 

He has only lived here now for about 2 years,he claims to have all this training. Why would a highly trained, educated ,terrorists expert move to a place that sat in the middle of three as he claims potential targets? why? why? It is very obvious that the training did not stick in his head. He should have chose  to live in a place far away from potential targets, I think the smart guy would have done that. he has some very deep issues as his actions are not on the norm of what most would do.He is the one we should keep an eye on.

Let's sit down and compare training, anytime. WOW
Why with a sucessful business in Las Vegas move to Dolan Springs? So he can charge local low income people $1 a gallon more for gas?

This Jay is one of the people who wants to run our fire Department services, I believe he is in the group that is attempting to put a plan together to run the department as stand alone. Why would you people who are in the group or the rest of us want this moron doing any more damage?  I think they have picked the wrong guy to support them. We as a community need to have this observed and his actions detailed and documented. He is a radical who can do no good for the future of our community. I will not support the group he he is involved in, Maybe they also should be looked at.He could be speaking or them also as he has attempted to speak for us in his blogs.

More name calling... you're not the professional I want to represent me? Vince pay attention, consolidation failed, it is a stand alone fire district. You are all about money and could care less how many people die due to poor EMS services. What if you have a heart attack VInce? The current manpower couldn't load you in the ambulance, let alone do CPR. 

I am attaching a screenshot of Fleming's latest blog post, along with some responses.  It appears that now that he has succeeded in derailing the consolidation and run off our Fire Fighters and EMS personnel with his blog, he is now exposing our location and weaknesses to the terrorists of the world...along with "how-to's" ! 

Yes Vince the terrorists didn't know where we had hidden Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, and the Grand Canyon, sorry. As far as how to, it seems by the looks of Paris they have that covered. We need to pray for the people of Paris.

He has misappropriated the LMRFD logo as well, giving him the appearance of having some authority to speak on our community's behalf.  I hope someone with the ability to talk sense into him will be able to do so before he causes us any more damage

 Are you the one who spoke to the firefighters causing two to quit? It was someone...

Small Sleepy Towns Can Be A Dangerous Place

The world changed on September 11th, America became a lot less secure when almost 3000 people died at the hands of terrorist, That's what terrorist do, create fear in peoples minds.

Much of my training in law enforcement had to do with drugs, intelligence, and covert operations, Because of this I was trained in both intelligence gathering, and counter-intelligence. So I look at the world different than most people.

We sit near three major terrorist targets, Las Vegas playground to the world, Hoover Dam a symbol of our nations power, and the Grand Canyon one of the seven natural wonders of the world,

We think of Dolan Springs and Meadview as sleepy little towns on the way to the Grand Canyon. But we sit between two primary terrorist targets, Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. Tourists from all over the world come to both of these attractions, Bombing a bus load of tourists would make people afraid to cross the dam, or visit the Grand Canyon. Terrorists use buses as targets all the time in other countries.

We need to be much more observant than we are. We need to learn what to look for as far as suspicious activity, and suspicious items. In Mohave Valley I watched a 5 gallon gas can sit 5' off the side of US-95 for a month before the highway department picked it up.

During my police academy training during bomb investigations, they put a gallon of gas with an electric blasting cap inside a two bedroom home. When the blasting cap was set off, there was fire out every window in that home. Imagine what five gallons of gas would do? Improvised Explosive Devices, IED's, are made from anything the terrorist can find, even a simple gas can.

Hopefully nothing like this will ever come to our community, but if it does, we need to prepare for the worst, and pray for the best.

Please be observant, if you see something suspicious, tell someone.

What We Can Do While Waiting for a New Fire Board

As we move forward waiting for the election of a new board of directors for the LMRFD, there are things we can do.

Dolan Springs, Meadview, and White Hills all need volunteers to assist in emergencies. The LMRFD is responsible for fire service inside the 144sm LMRFD, and the 2200sm ambulance area.

With the limited manpower in the LMRFD for both fire service and EMS, a Citizens Emergency Response Team, or CERT could provide various support services to the the sheriff's office, DPS, LMRFD firefighters, as well as other services that would benifit the entire community especially in emergencies.

Mike Browning at Mohave County Emergency Management tells me there will be a training course for a local CERT Team, or Citizens Emergency Response Team coming up in January 2016.

He needs around 20 people. So now is the time for people in Dolan Springs, Meadview, White Hills, and West of US93 to give Mike a call and support their community.

The fire district needs to support a CERT team. I hope the new fire board will be interested in volunteers and support things like a CERT Team.

Need to Wait Until Election in May.... Until Then Leave the Firefighters Alone

Apparently some people have been speaking to firefighters about the future of the LMRFD, creating some problems.

It's been decided the LMRFD won't consolidate with the NACFD. Now we need to wait until May 17th and the election of a new board of directors for the LMRFD.

Please let the firefighters do their jobs until people with the authority to speak for the community, the new fire board who takes control after the May election.
