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.

Just because we are firefighters doesn't mean that we should hope there's a fire. A fire means someone's life, family, home, dreams are possibly and most likely killed. We shouldn't hope for someone else's bad fortune.
