GREAT FALLS â Great Falls Fire Rescue conducted an âOath of Officeâ ceremony at Fire Station 1 on Wednesday to promote Trevor Johnson and Troy Weir to the rank of Captain.
Surrounded by family and GFFR personnel, the newly-minted Captains had their families pin their new badges and collar brass on them at the direction of Fire Chief Jeremy Jones.
Captain Johnson has been with the department for more than 16 years and has been a Lieutenant since February of 2018.
Captain Weir has 15 years of experience at GFFR and has also been a Lieutenant since February of 2018.
Stopping negative consequences
I take exception to the content of the letter from the Committee for Prevention, Addiction Education, and Recovery Harm Reduction Working Group (Viewpoint, 12 Feb). What they are proposing is not “compassion,” nor is it dignity to keep people from experiencing the consequences of their actions. “Safe injection sites” are not compassionate. They are enabling.
Their “motto” says it all: “Harm reduction is a set of practical, public-health driven strategies to reduce the negative consequences associated with using drugs.”
This is a pathetic description of abortion as well: “…reduce the negative consequences associated with illicit sex.” How about debt?: “reduce the negative consequences of spending more than you make on things you really don’t need.” Negative consequences are the results of doing stupid, harmful, illegal, and sinful activities.
