First of all, for the record, my name is Tom Kenney.

Secondly, Mr. Cote, please respond to my observation in my original letter-to-the-editor that the only thing that you and Mr. Block are looking for is for the Warwick FF's to have their work week extended by an additional 25% with no additional compensation...

You both state 24 hour shifts in a 3 platoon system but what you might not realize is that the overwhelming number of fire departments working a 24 hour shift work on a 4 platoon system.

Also, you state, "And to the most important point - The reason the debacle that took place in providence happened was because, when over 100 fire fighters knew that the gig was up, they all retired at the same time, sabotaging the department and the community and once again proving, that at the end of the day, they are only concerned with contract language and end of year salary"

100% untrue. When the PFD began (and ran for 1 1/2 years) they had full staffing for a 3 platoon system...with floaters! It simply doesn't work. Sorry
