Michael Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 "Public firefighters wait until the bell goes off and then they go out to the fire. We do things more proactively by creating a moat around the property before the fire gets there."

spenac Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 So it's OK for IAFF to push in to fields that they do not belong ( see all the EMS vs Fire in the forums ). But now they cry when somebody else gets money that they want. I do not see the problem. Theses privates are not setting back fires. They are spraying retardant and leaving. They are actually freeing up the FF's to focus on stopping the fires rather than trying to defend homes from fire. Why didn't IAFF think of this? Had they done so they would be in the money. This is a business just like any other those with money get the priority sorry. If you can pay for your own protection, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
