Am I the only one who has noticed of late that many firemen stand around doing nothing while houses catch on fire? I live up here in OC and have been watching the local OC and LA county fires and man it is quite evident from the helicopter tV shots. 5 or 6 standing around while structures burn. I’m starting to question this G0d-like stature we give them. Sure I know many are hard working and put themselves in harms way, but this crap I’m seeing on TV is bad publicity. Some guy on the radio today who lost his place in the Irvine/Santiago fire just ripped the Fire depts collective ass for not making any effort to save his place. He said they just up and left. After it burned to the ground they came back and were everywhere. I’m beginning to wonder if the FD is getting a little lazy depending too much on air power to fight these things. Anyone else noticing this? How bout down in SD county?
