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.

Finding time for loved ones isn’t nearly as tough as they make it seem. Me and my girlfriend do just fine, although i will admit it’s a bit challenging with me and my wife

You're not a FF unless you have at least one divorce.

Married once thirteen years ago, started in the fire service 9 years ago. I wish I was considered a real firefighter. :(
