" wow...big whoop that the wsfd got new signs and new lights. that has nothing to do with anything. how would you like it if your dad or husband was on the department and didn't come home one night because something awful happened? you'd quit whinning because you'd actually see the reality of what they are asking for. maybe their so called "CLUB" should start charging to come to fires or carbon calls or whatever. how would you like that? everyone would be whinning about that too. they can't win. it's pathetic that people in this town just need something to complain out to make themselves feel better.

" I for one, am tired of seeing fugly buildings put up to save money. Anyone think of the term "do it right the first time"? If you want some examples of ugly, cheap buildings, drive to LaCrosse and look at some of the newer apartments put up, boxy and no character. It does the community a great disservice to throw together an ugly building. Have a little pride people. "

" Once again you are distorting the whole point here,,Nobody said they did not like the work but some one did say why spend the money on that instead of equipment, My goodness you must be under several different names because they all end up the same.In parting the work looks great the bldg looks wonderful, But we need more money because we spent it on beauty.

" Everyone is right, West Salem shouldn't have anything nice. We should let everything get ruin down in town to save a few bucks. Why should we take pride in having something nice in town that not what we're all about, its all about the almighty dollar. Well I'm getting sick of it. I like the building and maybe all you penny pincher should move to a cave somewhere else. I wonder what the average age is of the complainers 60+. I plan on being here another 40 year and I like seeing West Salem get nice things, don't we all !!!!!!! "

" Are you for real??you have taken a legitimate debate and made it into a joke.. Post your addresses (wow) and then to call the people whinners.You are not in touch with the real world dude!The point is Money was spent foolishly and you are trying to make your point by calling names and changing the subject. There I said my peace goodnight! "

" Why don't all the whiners just post their addresses on here? Then when they need some assistance and call the WSFD "club" the "club" can check the address and see that its a whiner and not respond. They could save money that way. "

" I am not a member of any "club", but I live in West Salem and am extremely thankful that we have such a fine fire department. Do you whiners contribute anything to our community....other than bad mouthing people who do? "

" First of all, thank you! to all of the WSFD for the great service that you provide. Yes, it is volunteer, and that means that anyone who wants to part of it can be, if they have enough guts to put their time into something constructive for the community, instead of bad mouthing them. The fire station has certain regulations and codes it must be up to also. Have you stopped to realize that because of this depts rating, your homeowners insurance is affected? I also don't feel that anyone who calls the FD, should be charged to generate the revenue needed. Losing your home or another building isn't enough hardship? "

" i think the fd has every right to the money they diserve how bout all u whiners join up and run into burning buildings when everyone else is running out. my dads been on the department for of 14 yrs and in that time the recived 3 new engines and that was it some new coat racks to but nothin else to protect them from fire they have no money wut so ever join up ull see wut we mean. "

" Their should be no problem here. If the fire dept opens their records and shows just how much was spent on just meeting the mandate and show how and why it spent money on other things, signs , and prove to the taxpayer that all the spending was needed to improve and maintain the service, what's the problem? If however they went overboard with lights and signs and other feel good items, the public has a right to be upset. "

" And don't forget the fancy new signs on the building. I'm sure the handicapped public find that way more accessible to them now too. When the fire dept. whines for money and the public sees what the fire dept. does with their money, it is hard to swallow that they need more. If they used the money for new trucks, equipment, and gear, the dept. would have a much better case. But the public sees the brick, fancy lights, and signs. Not the way to convince folks you need more money. Try again, folks "

" all that new brick and nice lights must really help the handicaped!!The west salem fire depatment is like a big club..(mind you they do a awesome job) you need to know someone to join.It ia also volenteer which means you do not have to be there, So if you don't like it don't join the club.And you are right they need good equipment which goes back to the new brick and fancy lights,,by the way it is obvious you are in the club ,,so I say thank you "

" The fire dept had no choice but to remodel. The state says a public place must be handicap accessible. If you have a problem with that speak up tell your congress people to quit forcing all these unfunded mandates to these departments and maybe the department would be able to get the Personnel the proper equipment they need.. If you think the Fire Department has it so good join and find out for your self!!!! Or quit whining "
