General Discussion Unpopular Opinions In the Fire Service

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.

All transports should be closest appropriate facility.

If your medics can't discern "appropriate facility" you have much bigger problems.

Couldn’t agree more! Especially when the patient is using us as a taxi service anyway.
