No surprise to me. I’ve always felt that “fire fighters” get far too much credit and do far too little to justify it. Most of the time, they sit around doing nothing, most of the calls they make involve zero danger whatsoever. The police get no credit, work a far more difficult and important job and get nothing but criticism for a genuinely dangerous job, but everyone drones on and on about “fire fighters”.

At least firefighters still run into burning buildings. And they haven’t fought court battles all the way to SCOTUS to have it declared that the police have no responsibility to protect individuals. Have another donut, and policeman don’t even make the top 10 in any work place death lists. Loggers and fisherman and even cab drivers rank far, far above them.
