Facebook is not a proper way for government to communicate with citizens - it requires that you join a private website before interacting on supposedly important public safety information. It is highly invasive of privacy, too.
Finally, the FPD does not have a Facebook page, although the town does.
Caitlin Mazzola (Editor) August 2, 2012 at 01:28 pm
Yes, the department does: https://www.facebook.com/FPDCT
It's a recent addition. They're also on Twitter & Youtube. The link is included in the subhead, "Fairfield Police Department.".
BobRyffel August 2, 2012 at 11:14 pm
Titles are not the expected place for links; the blue link in that section does not go to the FB page. If the official PD site doesn't have links to their social network accounts, anything that claims to be them should not be trusted. Web safety 101.

FHA Exposed, you can rest.

Thomas, you certainly do. I enjoyed "Outside the Box."

Atticus, Ralph Arnone is next scheduled to appear in court on July 1st, at which point he isRead More expected to enter a plea. As an aside, one isn't supposed to go to bed and wake up still angry at the same thing, day in, day out, week in, week out, month in, month out... I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I care deeply about firefighters and I'm genuinely concerned about you. You were exposed to a lot of chemicals in your career. You may have some endocrine system damage or something causing an electrolyte disorder. This stuff starts out with things like joint pain and minor psychological implications but, it gets much, much worse. Get to the doc. Maybe you're just a spicy guy, maybe Ralph hurt you in some terrible way, or maybe you are sick and as a result, you'll be facing a much shortened a painful life. Honestly, I'm not trying to give you a hard time or pick a fight.
Atticus Fich June 19, 2013 at 06:01 am
Well thanks for your concern Creeky. But at my age I cant say I have lived a shorten life. As forRead More chemicals...well as most of the posters here on this rag say, firemen do nothing 99.9% of the day so I guess the on chemical exposure would be to the big comfy leather chairs in the dayroom. Why do you care anyway Creeky? In your previous posts about me you said, don't feed to trolls. You are not honest Creeky. Take your fake concern and false "honesty" and waste it on someone else. Not trying to give you a hard time, those are your comments about me. Where did you get the info on Ralphy?
Creeky June 19, 2013 at 08:05 am
Atticus, review your own posts. It isn't trolling. It's a vendetta. If you think I'm dishonest,Read More fine. I'm not going to try to speak rationally with someone whom is irrational. Why do I care? Because I've seen how much care fireman are capable of, and how much they give of themselves. It's respect and karma. As far as where I got the info, it's publicly available. If you wanted my help in how to find it yourself, perhaps you shouldn't have attacked my character. You are on your own now.
