As far as writting people up, he wrote up Marie Kolovage up for not having the right amount of petty cash on hand, everyone who knows that when the money comes in for petty cash, Marie would call you and let you know that she had money for you from the petty cash, but this day she didn't and Waller stood there screaming at her, then he marched into Teal's office complaining about her and he wrote her up ! That was the last straw with Marie, following that incident she left the Fire Dept. Who does things like that, only Terry Waller, that's has to tell you also what type of person he really is .

That was only because he was and is an ignorant, self absorbed, dope who loves and likes to listen to himself talk on the radio. <br /> Let me tell you, What did Waller do after that fire? Did he confront the officer (you still should have followed through with that "airborne mission", Mike) who said that to him like a MAN?..... Like all of us would have done?............... ....Ah, no just like the pussy he has always been He "WRITES THAT PERSON UP..."<br /> The only arrow in Waller's quiver for his entire career has been to report to the third floor his complaints. That's all he ever does, he has never "talked" to any subordinates. He has always been a pig headed, Napoleon complex challenged, loud mouth. <br /> I have been an officer on HFD for an awful long time... <br />I have yet in all these years to "write someone up" I handle the problem in the firehouse, in my office. It has never gone any further! <br /> The F/F has always seen the proper path and amended the attitude to serve,protect be safe and contribute to the people of Hartford. I've been pretty successful. <br /> My first obligation is to solve the problem, my last resort is to go outside the firehouse. <br /> Only officers who are scared, and insecure will write someone up as a first option. They need help and support in their own minds to back up their unjustified claims. <br /> I ask, how many firefighters, lieutenants, Captains, ANY BODY .... FMO, Special Services ..... have been "written up" by Waller? <br /> As I said, been around a long time. And I'm gonna say at least 40!!! That's nuts,!!!<br /> So Terry, All these guys have a problem, not you? You are not A FIRE OFFICER!

For all you "outsiders" who aren't on the job here's some history of the Fire Department.<br />1) Terry is not the 1st person to be promoted out of order on a promotional list.<br />2) He is not the 1st person on the job to have "special positions" created for them or their family members.<br />3) He is not the only one on the job who has done some favorable service for city residence in order to get promoted or make themselfs look better for promotion such as: Christmas Presents purchased by Drill School Probies who are in fear of getting booted out and loosing their jobs if they don't participate or smoke detectors handed out by a individual on the Deputy Chief's promotional list who then requests that a letter be written to the Chief of Department stating how wonderful they are!<br />4) FYI, the firefighters / union members every year purchase toys for a different elementary school and hand them out, their only demand is a simple "Thank-You".<br />Getting back to Terry,<br />5) Then Lieutenant Waller had a secret meeting with then Chief of Department Robert Dobson, where he cried like a school-girl stating he needed the promotion to Captain of the Special Service Division, reason: personnel financial difficulties. Even though Lieutenant Cornell Murry "Scottie" was previously told the position was his!<br />6) The hypocrite, who always boasted what a great place Hartford was and how much he cared for the city and it's residence, (he lived and was stationed in the Northend at that time), then Private Waller was ALWAYS the last one thru the door on the change-over to relieve the previous shift. When asked why the last one at work he stated "It's not that I don't want to be here, it's just there are better places I'd rather be"!<br />7) What can you say about a individual who consistantly goes out of his way to be confrontational with every and all firefighters he comes in contact with? He is referred to as the "most hated person on the job" and actually takes great pride in this!<br />Terry will most likely not be one of the better Deputy Chief's on the job where firefighters look foward to working with and for. Will he get someone killed? Well, if anyone actually follows his orders to the letter then the answer is yes, and if your that dumb to follow his orders to the letter without realizing he is not looking out for your safety, knows what he's talking about regarding fighting fires, lets just say your a total moron and probably do deserve to die!<br />But hey, I'm on D-Tour, Terry's on C-Tour so the odds of getting stuck working with him are slim. Personally, I know myself and my fellow brother & sister firefighters are safe and looked out for by competent Deputy Chiefs (Sammy-G and Serpie) who are totally worthy of their positions and not politically appointed rubes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-84950116823231592352012-11-20T10:47:57.007-05:002012-11-20T10:47:57.007-05:00Is Terry Waller a fool when it comes to firefighti...Is Terry Waller a fool when it comes to firefighting? Is he the most incompetent person on the fire ground? Has he always been a coward and never entered a burning building? Will he end up hurting/killing some one?

I remember him one time on the roof of a school radioing to the Commander the small fire there was caused by "sunspots!"

Think City Hall honors this? <br />This means as much as the WorkPlace Violence & Sexual Harassment policy we are forced to sign and return. Were these "values" considered before firing Dan Nolan?
