Last time my neighbours had a fire, the fire department shows up and knocks on my door to tell me that they’re confident they have the blaze contained but to stand by in case we need to evacuate. And I should close my windows just in case.
I look out the window, and what do I see? They helped a bedridden invalid out of the building and they’re giving her first aid for smoke inhalation. My taxpayer dollars going to work to help someone with first aid even though there’s a perfectly good healthcare system that will take care of them in four to six business weeks without crossing departmental lines.
Like can you believe that? Making sure their community is safe and preemptively controlling panic before it catches like wildfire, and helping people who need it to boot.
Courteous, respectful, and they didn’t even shoot my dog. You can believe if the police bothered to show up it would be a whole different scene.
Man, fuck the fire department
