As a Professional Fire Fighter & Property Owner, I think that Mr. Hook has given all of us in the Fire Service a BLACK EYE. I surely would not want him in one of my buildings or on my properties, Much less responding(driving) in Fire apparatus through my town. If the Washington Township allows them to keep there contract, I hope that they also accept the LIABILITY!.

What was the drunk guys name?

There is a link on top or the posting that has more infomation, The article says his name is Brian Hook.....

So Whats new????? Look up fireman arrested for OWI, they all are doing it! everywhere....

Ghost, NOT FAIR! I have been in the fire service 23 years, and NEVER have was I retarded enough to respond to a call drunk, especially in the fire truck. It sounds like this guy belongs in jail not at the fire station. From what I have read on the net it seems that the state needs to come in and shut this whole department down, They (from my readings) are nothing but a buch of law breaking rednecks. I am sure that the city they represent deserves BETTER!

This Yo-Yo was on the Town Board too??? Yeah....try that one in Mass, Maybe its OK for those "Rednecks" in Indiana,but try it here in Mass, this jerk would be doing alot of time behind bars (nOt the kind he likes) and I would not call them Pros or even firefighters, just call them unemployed DRUNKS!

And the state still let this guy operate on the Fire Dept? Whats wrong with the Goverment in the state of Indiana? I agree with the other postings, throw the Closed sign up, and get some REAL Firefighters in there! it also sounds like a time for a recal of the elected officials....

This guy needs to go to jail, let the public know that No One is above the law......Drinking and Driving is AGAINST THE LAW. It is a good thing that the city cop upheld the law....He just saved someones life from a DRUNK!

Man, a Drug dealer as the Chief and a Drunk Engineer....who else in on that department Goofy? We dont need jerks like that in our field, we save lives not risk them.....or is this how they pump up there run volume?

MAN.....What a bunch of LOSERS this department is! And in fact the state of Indiana for letting them screw the public!!!

you dont even know what you all are talking about. the chief was not arreseted for drug charges so get the facts strait. For the dept. making the first coments you dont want me airing your skeletons out of the closets like brad ---------- so lets be men and stop the stupid crap.cause i can go on and bring up your past. i did wrong. i paid the price and still am. you cant kick me any harder than i do every day so have at it.

Well, it appears that Mr. Hicks (if that is who Really posted the above) can't even spell, its "Straight" NOT "strait" OMG I hope you are not the one that the people in Milton depend on. And in doing a search of "Mr." (I won't use the term Chief as it would be an insult to all the good Fire Chiefs on our country) Hicks and in doing so I DID find that he was arrested,charged and had his certificates REVOKED and if he is still the person in charge if that department I feel for the residents. And I agree as those above that Mr Hook should be charged as a criminal as he would know better, and should do time as well as being BANNED from the the Fire Service. "IF" Mr. Hicks cared anything about the Communitys safety and the department moral he would dismiss Mr. Hook.

Since I have 11 years of serving the area, I must agree that Hook needs to go and the milton vfd is a dinosaur it is time for them to go to, another great professional fire department covers all there ems calls and they do nothing, they are a black eye to all of us professional fire departments.

I agree that people should be held accountable for there actions, some actions are greater than other actions, leaving greater accountability. But we must remember no one moves forward by holding others back. The goal is to move forward in time with those around your live, grow and create forward thinking space.

THAT GUY NUT S SO KICK HIM OFF AND PUT ME IN THE DEPT PS WHATEVER

Milton Fire Department has already taken action so all of the people that think that you now it all like 45-7 and William from freelandville should just keep your opions to your self and let Milton FD do what we have to.

So let me guess, You guys had a Open bar and Pharmacy nite, hosted by the drunk & the drug abuser chief? You guys are a discrace to the rest of the depts in the county!....oh yeah, don't forget to get the emptys out of the trucks!

So lets see. Who on here is Perfect???? NO one for the ppl that listen to hear say and jump on the band waggon, get a clue. Mr. Hicks said hes done wrong. It takes a man to admitt to his problems. And it takes sorry ass ppl to keep throwing his past in his face.

To Dublin 45-7 your department is far from perfect its self.

You one tracked minded blind sided ppl need to look past the ugly on some departments and see the good. I know for a fact 4 damn good fire fighters on that department. One has more yrs in the fire service then any of you ppl on here runnin off at the mouth. Yea the chief has done wrong and fire fighter drunk should have been gone a long time ago ill agree with everone on that.

To Bruce... Open Bar... Hmmm see ppl like you are just retarted. Just dont know when to shut up and keep your opions out of it.

MILTON 18 dont worry these idiots will someday relize they airnt god.

Ppl make mistakes. Mater of facts 100% of use do. Some just make minor one and some make bad ones. Life is a learning road for everyone. As my and M-18s grandfather told me one time theres only one perfect man. He died many many years ago on a cross.

I always though firefighters had this big brother and sister hood. Sounds like to me from a couple of you other fire fighters on here. It aint like it use to be.

And feel free to correct my spelling for me.

O and to you mr and miss know it all on here MR. HOOK is no longer with MFD.

I agree with you completely Robert H and Milton 18. People don't even know all of the facts.

They need to keep their noses out of where they don't belong.

NOONE on here knows everything about what has happened EXCEPT the Milton Firemen.

So everyone else can stick it up there butts and get happy cuz it is none of your business.

I <3 MVF!!!
