They feel it's ok to put others down and then step on them to get where they want. They want to wear the badge but don't want to do what it takes to carry on the pride and honor the fire service has built over history. I've been in the fire service for over 25 years and I've seen first hand what these "new fire fighters" are doing to the integrety of the fire service. "I want I want and I don't care who gets left in the dust". We are here to serve and the pay check is a bonus. I make my living serving the public and doing what it takes to protect them on duty and off. I wish the younger crowd had these same feelings. I know not all of our new fire fighters are this way and I apologize to those of you who have our citizens in mind on duty and off. We are not above the law! The citizens look up to us and WE are held to a higher standard! I am dissapointed in the new generation fire fighter.

And your crazy if you think its just the "new generation". The only difference is technology! Today, your on TV, or You tube, on almost every run you go to. And your right, this current generation hasnt put the pieces together yet. Its not Facebooks fault. Facebook is just a tool. Its the operator of that "tool", that doesnt think! BUT, if you think that this is the only thing eating away at public perception, your wrong. I coudnt agree more with Ray McCormack on this particular issue. "Attempting to make the job safer, by placing yourself above those need is wrong, and goes against everything the fire service has ever stood for".

If the shoe fits then it should be worn. It is my personal feeling that the "new generation" of firefighter does not understand the implications of their actions. Too many of them it's just a easy way to make a decent living. Their hearts are just not in the right place. I believe we are in a downhill slide. Makes you wonder just who is going to be running the ship in the future? Dave, continue to report on what you find. If the shoe fits then it should be worn.
