To have community backing, dispel the common belief that firefighters stop training once they are on the job. Here's how:
Firefighter training: Reality vs. perception
Each and every firefighter needs to change the perception one civilian, one civic group, one public official at a time.

  • Bill Davis This is a common thing here in East Texas during the summer months when there are alot of storms. Lightning and crude tank batteries do not mix well. Also, we have Texas Eastman in our district, and they have their own fire brigade, which some of the members of our dept are on, so if it is a SHTF deal, we would be able to work together pretty well.

They come off as village idiots, screaming and raging at firefighters; in reality they are simply ignorant of what we do.

I went to the store an hour ago and I saw them inside getting stuff. Their truck was right next to my car. (It's beautiful in person) I support the firefighters (although I am a little biased because I want to be one) lol. But forget what complainers have to say.
