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.

I know there are departments who are exceptions to this, but those departments who run transports really need to remind themselves they are EMS agencies that will also run fire calls. If EMS calls are >75% of your call volume, you are a medical agency.
