I called the local Anchorage office, after waiting 15 minutes, somone picked up the line (I could hear voices in the background), and set the receiver back down effectively cutting me off. I called again, but this time after 15 minutes, it began to ring 10-12 times, then a automated voice told me "call later", and shut the line. And socialists nationwide are complaining about DOGE? How about this ridiculously rude SSA office. I live out on the coast, I am going to have to pay Alaska Airlines $600.00 to fly in to Anchorage, then $250 for a B&B, another $50 in cab fees, to go here, maybe be seen, then I may be able to get something done, maybe not. And these people are supposed to work for us?

The funny thing is they don't provide masks. There is no mask mandate so of course I don't have a mask on me. Wasted about an hour today just to get turned down because I don't have a mask and don't provide one. Wow who's managing this place?!

The penalty only applies to businesses (not residents) false alarms where no cause can be determined other than a faulty detectors, and can only be recommended after multiple alarms, not just a single circumstance. The penalty is to penalize ONLY lazy businesses (much like your own) who are too lazy to pay to get their fire system in proper working order and would rather waste their own tax payer dollars sending Emergency Responders to false alarms. Get educated, broaden your perspective, there is life outside your little bubble, B.

For hauling folks off sidewalks not because you enjoy it, but because someone's grandma can't step over them to get groceries tomorrow. Yeah, brass weighs heavy, but heavier's what you carry when that call comes in and everyone's filming instead of helping. This generation? We're quick to boo cops louder than burglars, then DM you for directions home. Nostalgic hits me too - used to be Officer Friendly waved from the corner store. Now you're trending when shots fired, buried when the story's old. Still... you show up. Priceless doesn't cut it.

The museum is locked, but all you have to do is press the button at the door during normal business hours and someone will come down and let you in. The museum has old memorabilia such as ladders, water bombs, toys, helmets, radios pictures and decorative hydrants. They also have an old pole that was removed from one of their fire houses. It is not operational, but still cool to see. The woman working there during my visit was very nice and helpful. She answered any question that I had. It is free to visit and for me, it broke up visiting the same old stuff. There is merchandise such as t-shirts, hats, and patches that you can purchase there. There is no apparatus on display, but I was told that if they were not bust that I may be able to see the apparatus in the real firehouse behind the museum. This is not a big time consumer, but is neat to see and could be coupled with visits to the firefighters memorial, the Alaska Law Enforcement Museum, and other nearby attractions

Wow, what a scam. A…read morebastion of nickel-and-diming bureaucracy! Executive Summary: If you are moving to the Anchorage, the city will treat your unloading of personal goods in the exact same manner as if you were building a condo or opening a water main. Seriously, you need a right-of-way permit...you need to fill it out, and then you need to attach a map telling them where your moving trailer will rest. Oh, and you have to PAY to unload your goods as well. How much? $0.70/per square foot/per day. Since I only needed a day to unload it would cost me about $5. OK, not too bad right? Only problem is that there is a MINIMUM fee of $130. This kind of fee makes the banksters at the credit card companies look...well...kind by comparison. So I filled out all my permit paper work and was waiting to pickup my permit. Then I get a call from a permit inspector saying he "happened to be in the neighborhood" and that my permit was not posted on my moving container. He was correct, it wasn't. I had taken my lunch break to help the truck driver drop off the container and wasn't going to be able to pickup the permit till after I got off of work. The container had been there only a couple hours. Later that day I waited in 3 different lines for the right to pay $130 for my piece of paper allowing me to move into the city. I always thought of Alaska more as a "don't tread on me" type of state. But, if you want to move to Anchorage, expect lots of treading.
