OMG, CoolBreeze, I feel as though I have just been exposed to the true spirit of the NH motto, " LIVE FREE OR DIE". Bravo!

Imo it starts a tad strong. We can all voice our opinions, some come out in print well, some not. fine.

There are most likely two very different sides to this story. Hearing the side in need will never come across well.

What I find over the top is the post with the images. That is a public kick in the face to the entire department. If we were talking about a product that didn't perform as expected is one thing. Bashing people that did what had to do, with what they had to do it with, at 11PM at night. REALLY!

Why not everyone take a boat onto the lake, around midnight, pick a random island and walk around carrying a chair with 80lbs in it while looking graceful.

Imo, as someone said early on, hopefully the dept will view this and make a positive from it. What were the issues, what can help solve them, and how do they implement the equipment and ideas into service?

Idea: Does your island association have AED(s)? Do you know where it is? Not the OPs original problem, but CB thought they would die, maybe not. I'm fortunate enough to know of one within 1000 feet of my house. Family members/friends would have no problems getting to it if needed.

Get a few, sprinkle around the island, on the neighbors front porches, for example. I'm not trying to create a debate point.

This is the best thing to come from this thread so far.

I took the pictures out. Even though it was a close representation of the original posts descriptions.

Are you saying it is a fact they "grabbed" a woman, a fact that they "dropped her into a chair", a fact that they tried to start the engine 13 times? Really? She counted?.....Fact is this probably did not happen. And BTW it was never determined that Chaselady was actually standing there. Fact is that the original posting is disparaging and should never have been posted with the last sentence she put up. Fact is these better be facts, because I would be asking if that first posting was slanderous if they were not...
