You can see a fire truck setup in the southbound lane. Looks to me the VFD responders and resources were on top of the situation. Couldn't save the bank but preventing the fire from spreading was a job well done!
Thanks to all responders!

And you sit behind a computer screen and run the volunteers down. What a piece of sheet

Don't Ashe County Volunteer FD get a stipend paid into each run they make into some kind of NC State Fireman Retirement Fund?

EMS is paid by the run
Creston and Flame I copied the above from your post. You both need to brush up on your reading comprehension and apologize to Jack as I am right. And the Ashe county transportation buses running all over town are paid employees also.

Jack if you should get off your drunken ars* and volunteer you would comprehend the emergency services. But no, you drink your three dollar a pint rot gut and get on here and breech about people donating their time to help serve the citizens of Ashe

Simmer down guys, you're better than that. I look at it in these terms. When I go out to a nice restaurant and the waiter/waitress refills my glass, I say Thank You, because even if it's their job, they have paid attention to my needs and provided good service. Same deal here, say thank you for paying attention and providing good service.

Jack - you're the idiot - Ashe County Transportation Authority is not an EMS agency. It is a local transportation authority that provide transportation to citizens.

Flash you idiot the ems is a company with paid employees governed by labor laws of NC. They are either hourly or salaried. The hose jockeys did nothing different unless they all took the fire trucks home. I would think the organizations listed stand ready regardless of the weather.
I should have put my mail man on stand by for a liquor store run.

I didn't realize that companies like Ashe Transportation and Aloia Enterprises were involved and I don't think that's part of their "job".

Jack you need to check your info, rescue and fd are volunteer. EMS is paid by the run. EM is the only paid position

There was nothing to thank them for. Most all of them are paid to do the job.

I don't remember Joe. I thought it was two women that drowned on Beaver Creek and a man up Phipps Creek. I know I never ever want to be on the New River when it is running that flush. 10 hp motor on a 12' boat headed upstream wide open while going backwards at a very rapid pace. Scared to death that we would get crossways to the flow

What's self serving about thanking agencies?

I thought it was kind of interesting to get a behind the scenes overview of what is involved.

Crestonflash (view profile) | Posted 5:30 pm, 09/19/2018 | Pre staging is the key to emergency response during a distaster (potential). With the rain fall predicted, it could have been worse than 1940. I remember the flash flood in about 1975 or '76 that washed two houses away, one on Beaver Creek and one on Phipps Creek killing three people.

Is that the one were the mother and father and a child were killed leaving a son behind

Sure was a lot of self back patting in that story. I thought the county hose jockeys, barneys, and EMS stood ready 24/7 for response to emergencies.
