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.

Any brand new pumper of any kind (tankers, wildland rigs, and quints are included) that is built without a foam system is already out of date, and any nonpumper unit that is built brand new without some sort of fire suppression capability outside of a couple of cans and extinguishers (except for ambulances and command/support vehicles) could also be outdated.
