You assholes realize that 75-80% of the nations Fire Service is VOLUNTEER, yeah? Do you understand what Volunteer means? They don't get paid, but maybe a stipend per year; no pensions, no benefits; yet these volunteers are expected to maintain the same certifications as the "Paid" "Full-Time" departments. This does not excuse the fact that there are bad apples everywhere, such as these arsonists; which by the way are Volunteer. I spent 25 years in the Fire Service, my back went out, and let me tell you, it's not "Rainbows and Unicorns". Now, if I was a Chief or Administrative; where they seem to be more political (dirtier), maybe my life would be grand, instead of needing supplemental food stamps and medicaid to support my family, because I got denied work related injury. I did work for a Full Time department, in an all Republican area, and still got fucked. Bad shit mixed in with the good everywhere.
