Could this be part of the problem

Why wouldn't that shirt raise eyebrows with "PAID GUYS"

As would a Red Sock fan wearing a anti Yankee shirt

or worse if that white guy in the picture was wearing a anti black shirt.

heres a thought when you are on this job or retire from it your chances of getting cancer are 20 to 25 % greater then the general public.

Why in the world would you want to increase thoses chances even more by volunteering. Your health and safety is at risk.

Towns and villages and cities pay a lot of money to carry insurance of firefighters, they should be demanding as part of employment that firefighters do not volunteer, just like major leagures have in their contracts about things that jepordize their career.

just my thoughts
