MOUNT PLEASANT — Nala the golden retriever, Buddy the cockapoo and Rufus the basset hound didn't look thrilled about wearing oxygen masks. Who needs a plastic, cone-shaped muzzle on a muggy Monday?

Cat masks were donated, too, but not demonstrated. "We strive for excellence in everything we do, and this is just another step in that direction," said Mayor Harry Hallman.

Oh goodie...MPFD gets something that other FIRE DEPARTMENTS have had for years and they get press....just like when they told the press they were the first to put paramedics on engines! Too bad the firefighters are disgruntled and looking to leave! Even a few at the top are looking elsewhere! Pretty bad when your chief won't even wear his uniform anymore....just a shirt and tie!
