Chris Baird you stalk FOR THEM NOT STALK THEM
Poor old happy Chris Baird had it backwards. He thought (apparently) he was hired to
stalk the firepigs which is really some type fantasy they have created believing that women are "hot" for them. LOL. Yeah, other scumbags LIKE YOU are hot for you. Of course. Look at weanie. He is baby-sat all day long. Look at the dwarf-ish firemen in your ranks. Even they have their marital difficulties denoting that at smoe point their ugly stalking asses captured a she-male.
I thought this was TAMPA'S FINEST V TAMPA'S BRAVEST when you corrupt lads and lasses get together to play hockey and othereise celebrate your bikers disabling my brake lights with your puerto ricans so your dirty cops can pull me over ..... Not so brave. The guy was just talking ... talk is cheap AND FREE. Right? You're the big freedom advocates riding the coat-tails of Sept 11 2001.

Polk County, FL -- A former Polk County firefighter was arrested Thursday after he made public rants on his Facebook page toward former employees.
According to a release from the county, part-time Polk County Fire Rescue firefighter Christopher Baird was fired on June 8 from his job after it was determined that recent conduct was inconsistent with requirements of a fire service professional.
In May, Baird was removed from the work schedule for personal reasons. He later tried to reestablish his duty status. It was during this time, he published rants on his public Facebook page.
Baird was arrested last night by the Tampa Police Department on a felony warrant: three counts of threatening a public servant and two counts of aggravated stalking. At the time of this release, Baird remains in the Hillsborough County Jail pending first appearance.
A former Mulberry Fire Department employee, Baird was hired as a part-time employee on Nov. 2, 2009 after PCFR assumed the fire suppression responsibilities within the City of Mulberry.

BARTOW, Fla. - The Polk County Fire Department says Christopher Baird had a clean employment record with them.
But the part-time firefighter was taken to jail after investigators say he made threats over the phone and on the internet.
According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, during a meeting with Fire Chief Tony Crouse, Baird challenged the chief's authority and appeared hyper and agitated. But that was just the beginning.
They say he scared the receptionist telling her over the phone. "They're all afraid of me and they should be. I'm gonna get back what they took from me."
According to the fire department, Baird was on leave because of personal reasons last month. They say he tried to get back on duty but started posting rants and threats on his Facebook page.
Among things investigators say Baird wrote: "live by the gun, die by the gun" and "I own weapons of all types, but quick wit and cat like reflexes are my best weapon."
He also posted a picture that showed his fire department badge, last paycheck and a hunting knife.
Authorities say one of his final posts alluded to further confrontation with the fire department, reading "I'm up to bat now and I now I know how to make home runs if you haven't noticed yet…winning!!!"
Baird was fired this week and is charged with three counts of threats against a public servant and two counts of aggravated cyber stalking.

Tampa FIrefighters SCARCE on Super Bowl Sunday
Tampa police: Kicked out of bar, drunken man returns with knife
By Stephanie Wang, Times Staff Writer
TAMPA — Drunk and disorderly, a Tampa man was told to leave a bar around midnight Saturday. But he wasn't gone long from the Stop In Tavern.
Police say he soon returned with a 10-inch kitchen knife.
According to jail records, the "extremely intoxicated" suspect confronted a male victim and stabbed him once in the left forearm. The knife, police said, went in one side and out the other.
The victim was not named in the arrest report.
Bar patrons subdued the suspect until police arrived at the tavern, 4317 W South Ave., in Drew Park.
Timoteo Garcia, 40, of Tampa was arrested Sunday morning at St. Joseph's Hospital. He faces a charge of aggravated battery.
Garcia was being held Sunday at the Hillsborough County Jail on $7,500 bail.

Drug shortages worry Tampa Bay emergency medical providers
By Anne Lindberg, Times Staff WriterTampa Bay Times
In Print: Tuesday, December 27, 2011
A nationwide shortage of some lifesaving drugs has hit Tampa Bay emergency medical responders, forcing them to find other ways to care for their patients.
Paramedics regularly use many of the drugs to relieve pain, to help with a heart attack or to calm combative patients. So far, the EMS systems have been able to substitute one drug for another — for example, morphine instead of the painkiller fentanyl, which is in low supply.
The shortage is hitting especially hard in Pinellas, where most medications are back-ordered, EMS medical director Laurie Romig said. The problem is especially critical for pain relievers, sedatives and heart medications. Pinellas is down to its last doses of fentanyl. And Valium, used to calm combative patients and for seizures and pain management, is back-ordered.
"We're talking lifesaving drugs," Romig said. "I think it's going to get worse before it gets better."
Tampa and Hillsborough also are facing shortages of some commonly used medicines.
"It is problematic, yes, but it hasn't hit critical mass," said Nick loCicero, assistant chief of administration and rescue for Tampa Fire Rescue. "We're all in kind of the same boat."
The Tampa department has seen shortages of such drugs as Terbutaline, which helps asthmatics to breathe; Labetalol, used to regulate heart rhythm; and Cardizem, used for high blood pressure and other heart problems.
Karen Davidson, rescue division chief for Hillsborough Fire and Rescue, said the shortage has not centered on one drug but "changes daily." The department is finding it hard to get Versed, which can be used as a sedative or anesthetic. EMS paramedics frequently use it to make it easier to insert breathing tubes. Also back-ordered is magnesium sulfate, used as a muscle relaxer.
Sporadic drug shortages are not unusual, but the number of reported prescription drug shortages in the United States nearly tripled between 2005 and 2010, according to the federal Food and Drug Administration.
The shortages appear to be caused by several factors, according to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Among those: a lack of production capacity and expiration of patents, which allows other companies to make generics. It takes time, the HHS report said, for manufacturers to gear up to make the drugs.
Complicating the issue, Romig said, are the problems faced by Hospira, the Illinois company that makes many of the generic medications Tampa Bay emergency medical agencies use.
The FDA has criticized the company for inadequate quality controls. Hospira has said it is fixing the problems, but Romig said the situation makes things difficult for consumers.
"Right now, we don't know whether we will be able to continue getting drugs from that manufacturer," she said. "It could be very much worse if Hospira goes down."
In the short term, Tampa Bay area EMS systems have been substituting one drug for another. They also order different dosage sizes that are more readily available.
Romig has created a committee to study creative solutions to the problem.
Romig said no one calling 911 for help should worry: "We're doing everything we can to preserve our ability to treat our patients as we always have."

W562PD to YA5LK
Thanks, idiots !!!!!
Henry...................................................... looks like another of your churchy friends??????????????????
Cause that ho Jessica sho nuff be a lil Christian like you and your "renters" and Colin's buddy, FITZ the preacher.
THIS IS AWESOME THOUGH: Nothing like bringing it to me.
There is also YA5LD and YA5L1 ?? I believe which belonged to spence roberts until the fat chicken shit changed it. NOT JESS. She's GOT PROTECTION. LOL !!!
With all proceeds going to fund the needs of the St. George Island volunteer fire department and first responders, Shepard made a push this year to spread word that the department's ladder truck was instrumental in quenching a devastating fire at a downtown Apalachicola bank last November.
"I knew it was going to be tough, with the way the economy is," he said.
In a letter to last year's participants, Shepard provided a link to Howard Reeder's video of the fire, complete with images of the ladder truck helping prevent a widespread conflagration downtown such as what leveled the city in 1900.
"The ladder truck was purchased three years ago with proceeds raised at the Chili Cookoff," he wrote to last year's field. "Without you guys, there would be no cook-off. In a roundabout way, you all helped save Apalachicola. That's your fire truck. Our people are responsible for that truck being there."
Highlighting the cook-off's returnees are 2001 and 2004 winner Diane Melancon, of Double D Chili, out of Gonzales, LA; 2005 winner Ron Judson, of Great American Chili Co. Too, out of Red Bluff, CA; 2006 winner Bruce Gaylor, of Dead Serious Chili #3, of Tampa; 2007 winner Doug Smith, of Dead Serious Chili, out of Clearwater; and last year's champ, Paul Nunn, of Nunn Better Chili, out of Ft. Pierce.
The cook-off has expanded mightily since it started 27 years ago and, a few years following that, decided to draw more participants by becoming official within chili circles.
"We joined the ICS as a way to get chili cooks to come," said Shepard. "And that worked out and this became part of the steppingstone for serious cooks to go on to the national championship.
When he considers the field of contestants, Shepard said it ranges from purists, looking for a win that will propel them to the world championships, to those who are on the island mainly to have a good time, and savor the frivolity and camaraderie the cook-off brings.
"And there's like the Parrotheads," Shepard said, citing a boisterous group with chapters in both Atlanta and Tallahassee that each year takes part in the cook-off.
"Those guys are here to party," he said. "They're not concerned so much for the actual chili competition. But they bring five to six carloads of people, they rent places and they shop at the local grocery."
With one foot in both camps are groups like Tampa's Dead Serious chili teams, who bring a casket and cut flowers as a playful, macabre touch to their efforts, and who won last year and are usually among the top finalists.
In addition to a ticket to the world championship, competitors compete for a $500 prize for first place, a $300 check for second place, and a $200 prize for third place. Plaques are also awarded to the best booth, best showmanship and high yield, which means most money raised from $1 cup sales that benefit the fire department.
The weekend gets underway Thursday morning with a golf tournament at St. James Bay Golf Course, with tee time at 11 a.m. Golfers are welcome to show up on day of tourney; entry fee is $100 per golfer.
Friday's activities begin with an art preview from 5 to 7 p.m. in the civic hall of the Jay Abbott fire house on East Pine Street. Admission is a $5 preview donation.
On Saturday, the 5K Red Pepper Run gets underway at 8 a.m., under the direction of Susan Bassett.
Booth set-up begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 9:30 a.m. start of the amateur crock pot chili competition. These are chilies prepared at home, minimum one gallon, with no rules for competition There is a $5 entry fee, and all proceeds go to the charity cook-off.
The formal competition begins at 10 a.m. with chopping, slicing, marinating, and the like, with stoves lit officially at 11 a.m. Rules in effect include no beans, pasta, etc. chili prepared on site from scratch, no prepackaged chili mixes, meat may be cut, sliced or ground in advance, but not treated or cooked except during competition.
The charity auction, conducted by Wade Clark and Harry Arnold, begins at 11 a.m. followed by booth and showmanship judging beginning at 11:30 a.m.
Ticia Lipscomb, the cookoff's treasurer, said the list of items to be auctioned off include a 2002 Ford Explorer "in excellent condition, with all the records from the day it was bought."
Also being auctioned are a 1987 23' Proline fishing boat, a 22' sailboat, and a 17' aluminum canoe, as well over a hundred items ranging from unique art to gift certificates to vacation stays and more.
The Miss Chili Pepper and Mister Hot Sauce judging is between noon and 1:30 p.m., with chili judging at 2 p.m.
The "King Cotton Blues Band" will start playing at around 3 p.m., once the auction stops.

With one foot in both camps are groups like Tampa's Dead Serious chili teams, who bring a casket and cut flowers as a playful, macabre touch to their efforts, and who won last year and are usually among the top finalists.
In addition to a ticket to the world championship, competitors compete for a $500 prize for first place, a $300 check for second place, and a $200 prize for third place. Plaques are also awarded to the best booth, best showmanship and high yield, which means most money raised from $1 cup sales that benefit the fire department.
The weekend gets underway Thursday morning with a golf tournament at St. James Bay Golf Course, with tee time at 11 a.m. Golfers are welcome to show up on day of tourney; entry fee is $100 per golfer.
Friday's activities begin with an art preview from 5 to 7 p.m. in the civic hall of the Jay Abbott fire house on East Pine Street. Admission is a $5 preview donation.
On Saturday, the 5K Red Pepper Run gets underway at 8 a.m., under the direction of Susan Bassett.
Booth set-up begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 9:30 a.m. start of the amateur crock pot chili competition. These are chilies prepared at home, minimum one gallon, with no rules for competition There is a $5 entry fee, and all proceeds go to the charity cook-off.
The formal competition begins at 10 a.m. with chopping, slicing, marinating, and the like, with stoves lit officially at 11 a.m. Rules in effect include no beans, pasta, etc. chili prepared on site from scratch, no prepackaged chili mixes, meat may be cut, sliced or ground in advance, but not treated or cooked except during competition.
The charity auction, conducted by Wade Clark and Harry Arnold, begins at 11 a.m. followed by booth and showmanship judging beginning at 11:30 a.m.
Ticia Lipscomb, the cookoff's treasurer, said the list of items to be auctioned off include a 2002 Ford Explorer "in excellent condition, with all the records from the day it was bought."
Also being auctioned are a 1987 23' Proline fishing boat, a 22' sailboat, and a 17' aluminum canoe, as well over a hundred items ranging from unique art to gift certificates to vacation stays and more.
The Miss Chili Pepper and Mister Hot Sauce judging is between noon and 1:30 p.m., with chili judging at 2 p.m.
The "King Cotton Blues Band" will start playing at around 3 p.m., once the auction stops.
