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.

The traditional issued helmets suck. They’re bulky, heavy, top heavy, unstable, uncomfortable, and overly ornamental.

The leather versions are much lighter, but ridiculously expensive.
