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.

Probably among the most unpopular opinions one can have in the fire service: A union firefighter should never vote for billionaire presidents who are a fan of union-busting. The fire service would not enjoy the benefits of our shift schedules, among many other benefits, had we not fought for better working conditions and living wages through collective action and the union.
