MICHAEL PATTERSON: DESCRIPTION OF HIS STELLAR CAREER AT HFD, IN HIS OWN WORDS

Any person might plan several different ways to deal with the issue, including a violent response to what he perceives as a long term threat to his safety or reputation. Mike, by his own admission, had years to figure out his possible responses to those on the job who would question his status. This time Mike chose to initiate a violent attack. He is lucky Huertas is "anti white".; November 13, 2015 at 11:26 AM

In fact the only difference between Patterson and the actual Grimis is that Patterson isn't qualified or competent enough to work at McDonald's.; November 13, 2015 at 3:42 PM

Anonymous said...: 11:43pm What happened, they're all looking for the free, easy money through lawsuits, then settlements. Look beyond the Bell family lawsuit, look beyond the Waller lawsuit, try to get how many lawsuits filed by FF in the past few years.; November 14, 2015 at 7:28 AM
Anonymous said...: I will tell you why the Bell family turned on Huertas. Its called money. The Bells see the biggest payday ever for their entrenched North End family. In fact wasn't it money in the first place that brought Kevin to the HFD. Face it, the guy was well over forty, mentally slow, and had no aptitude for the job. Hey, I liked the guy, but lets not pretend he deserved to be on the job. Kevin Bell is almost exactly like most of the other political appointments to the HFD, substandard and entitled. For those of you who don't know...you don't actually have to be part of the recruiting process to get a job on the HFD. If you are ambulatory and have all your limbs any Hartford politician can insert you into an HFD training class. Jobs on the HFD are used for political patronage all the time.; November 14, 2015 at 8:14 AM
Anonymous said...: Episode # 103 of the Payton Place Fire Department of Hartford where principals gossip about each other an occasionally take a punch at each other. Only adequate leadership which has been lacking for a very long time can cure the spreading disease.

Time to start with the top clown. I saw him close-up at the Centennial of city hall and it was hard to believe that he was promoted top dog. He is truly a clown. But that's Hartford.; November 14, 2015 at 8:38 AM
Anonymous said...: Hartford Fire Department has a wide spread drug and alcohol abuse problem. When this is addressed, which it will be, they will lose a quarter to half of the department. They're all druggies and drunks.; November 14, 2015 at 10:19 AM
Anonymous said...: Why aren't any of you mentioning Lt.John Moree ( white guy, out of towner who moved to hartford just to get hired)??? Might be able to retain some reading material but doesn't apply it in the field. " 2 in 2 out " who doesn't know that coming out of academy? Moree calls a mayday which went unanswered, bails out, doesn't stop when he reaches the exterior of the structure to ensure Bell is with him, continues to the fire truck to swap out his bottle and still doesn't bother to confirm if Bell is with him after having called a MAYDAY minutes before, but knew exactly where to find Bell when asked by the R.I.T. after he was asked for PAR... However he still hasn't been disciplined for failing to perform his BASIC duties as an officer???? D/C jimmy mac was suspended for not performing his duties at another incident as he should, why hasn't Moree? Yet everyone wants to speak of racism and minorities get away with murder.... REALLY??? Seems as if the one who got away with murder is far from being a MINORITY. . .; November 14, 2015 at 1:04 PM
Anonymous said...: @1:04PM- What about WALLER? He was the senior officer on the scene. Exactly what was the purpose of him being there other than to collect his overtime?; November 14, 2015 at 2:13 PM
Anonymous said...: You make very valid points about Moree, the HFD Board of Inquiry was a sham. They had nothing in the report about Moree's actions or lack there of. I know Huertas told the board to stand down but they put out a watered down report anyways. The Bell family should include each member of the Board of Inquiry in their suit for failure to address an officers fatal actions that contributed to Bell's death.; November 14, 2015 at 3:52 PM
Choose wisely said...: I hate to say it, but Huertas and Waller were the absolute worst leadership that the HFD has ever seen. Having those two buffoons put in leadership roles is in fact the quintessential Pedro Segarra downfall. He chose to surround himself with too many zeros (see Jalmar). Let's face it, Huertas and Waller were political promotees. Forget about race for a second because HFD has a lot of white losers too (see Vinny). The lessons learned here should be political promotees and hires never work long term. These types of moves get votes but ultimately drive the entire department downward. We need to Promote and hire based in aptitude and ability, not politics and race. People die when you politically tinker with and compromise our city's public safety (Councilmen Kenedy and Wooden know this all to well)

But don't assume Bronin won't promote based on political promise. The good money, and all the rumors, are that Bronin made promises to fill his department head positions with people of color to appease his diverse voting base. Careful Luke, HFD needs a great leader, regardless of color.

HFDs greatest challenges lie ahead- Racial divide, alcohol and drug abuse, poor discipline and work ethic to name a few. The department has been mired in political hires way too long. HFD needs a great leadership team of any colors.; November 14, 2015 at 4:51 PM
Anonymous said...: I hope Bronin does not shove that fake fireman Reggie Freeman up our butts. I heard the guy was in town last week. He came and left fast under mysterious circumstances both ways. He is a step back in the wrong direction. Luke, let me make this an easy one for you. There is a world class fire department a couple of hours drive from here called the FDNY. Hire a few excellent retired chiefs from there if your are really serious about restoring the HFD.; November 14, 2015 at 7:47 PM
Anonymous said...: 7:47pm is right, make some phone calls to retired, talented, experienced NYFD Commissioners. One of them will do a great job in Hartford.; November 14, 2015 at 11:33 PM
Anonymous said...: I have an even better idea......get rid of all you little crying fire mice and make it a volunteer fire department. The city would save huge huge money and let's face it, most of the stuff that burns in the city should burn anyways.; November 15, 2015 at 11:12 AM
KEVIN BROOKMAN said...: 11;12AM your ignorance is overwhelming. Are you aware of the number of calls for service HFD answers every year? What HFD needs is proper management, which they haven't seen in many, many years. The tradition of a once proud Department can probably be returned quickly with the proper command staff and leadership; November 15, 2015 at 12:57 PM
Anonymous said...: It doesnt matter if you hire a 5 star General to run HFD. Nothing will change until somebody takes the Union to Court (Labor Board) and challenges and eliminates those self serving antiquated rules that makes it almost imposible to administer discipline, conduct real surprise drug test, and properly handle problematic employees.; November 15, 2015 at 1:42 PM
Anonymous said...: You ask for a surprise drug test? Be careful what you wish for. If this happens, 3/4 of HFD - or more - will have to be removed. The union knows that.; November 15, 2015 at 6:38 PM

That's a good idea, a five star general, someone like that could really straighten things out. It is my opinion that we should look at Patton. He was great with the brothers in Nam. He did slap that one white boy during the Inchon invasion, but who is perfect. Bring Patton out of retirement!!! George.. the HFD needs you!; November 15, 2015 at 7:11 PM

Anonymous said...: Kevin, how come human resources get a free pass in the Hartford fire dept's demise? They're hands have been dirty for decades in relation to hiring(I.e. political contacts),promoting(i.e. scores being manipulated),discipline or lack of (i.e. recent work place violence incident). I'm assuming they affect every dept. Since troubles start there ,maybe bronin should too when "cleaning house"; November 16, 2015 at 9:35 AM

Tic tac toe said...: Listen closely fire mice. I hope you all went to staples or office max while on duty to start those resumes. Once mayor bronin takes over it will be over for a good amount of you. Then he will bring back Chief Terry to head the ship for years to come. Yes, it will be smug on all your faces but in reality you all want to be commanded by a real man. That man is Terry. Charlie will be gone by xmas.
Vinny is next on the list. No more union. Drug tests for all. Terry will lay the smack down on nolan or anyone who makes a peep.
No more cooking ribs and steaks on sunday, instead of equipment and training.
The circus is over ! Done! Finale!; November 16, 2015 at 2:19 PM

Any clothig, tools, PPE you get have to be approved by him. Do you think any of the sales reps take him to lunch maybe more.
