  • Jeremiah Jackola Understandable, If citizens want a tour and take pictures that's one thing. Letting them climb on apparatuses and don gear half naked while taking pictures is just stupid and looks very bad to the community.

The question is: Should you respond to every attack? And when you do choose to respond, how should you do it for best effect?
Fire departments are easy targets for criticism; fire chiefs need to know how, when, why and if to respond.

Community members are planning a special gathering for the family at a church.; an investigation into the blaze is underway.

The firefighter suffered minor injuries; the driver of the car had to be extricated and was taken to the hospital with unknown injuries.
Firefighters were responding to an oven fire when the car pulled out in front of the rig.

Stewart: "I'm embarrassed for our country, for New York, that you after serving so selflessly have to come down here and convince people to do what's right."
In 2010, Stewart dedicated an episode of "The Daily Show" to shame Congress into passing the Zadroga Act.

  • Randy Bassman Burnett Why would anyone even consider allowing the funding to end - funding that's main purpose is to assist the heroes who responded that fateful day without regard for their own safety. Makes no sense at all. Where is the appreciation for their selfless actions?

  • Eric Elliott Seems criminals are taking to the extreme to use the stolen gear to be able to "loot" houses more easily in the fire areas. This is simply not cool. First, a criminal should never steal a firefighters gear. the firefighter needs that gear to use safely to do his or her job. That job could just very well save, yes save, even the criminals life.
