Unpopular Opinions In the Fire Service

[u/Launch_Rockface]

I am curious what other peoples unpopular opinions of the fire service are? I know there are alot of things we are doing or trying to do to improve the fire service as far as training and wellness, but I also know alot of it is just not that great in my opinion.

If your dept provides EMS you should be putting more training and effort into it, not ohh hey let’s throw the new guy on the bus till someone newer comes along or our current always on the engine/ladder/quint click breaks and they throw the guy a bone. Treat your medics and EMTs the same as your firefighters, pay them same as well.
