What are their political inclinations?

It's more a social strata thing than a political thing; its like the dogwhistle "urban" but for poorer people, it's how "comfy middle class" people want to refer to the working classes without saying "working classes" or "unemployed"

Structure fires in general are a lot less common across the board due to new building codes and other regulations as well. I guess it is relatively easy to filter out "cigarette lighter" as a cause when the cause is known though.

Not sure what the most common cause of fires is in my area right now, apart from meth. Stowing a recently run lawnmower by a gas can is up there.

It's actually a major secret problem that intersects with the Defund the Police debate, basically every major fire department in the US is extremely overfunded, they basically get paid to sit around and do nothing, they will regularly roll out full as ladder trucks to minor car accidents just because fire fighters are also EMTs.

Everyone knows they are extremely overfunded and have nothing to do and no one will touch a penny of their budgets, no one, it is a complete third-rail in local politics.

This is total bullshit.The majority of firefighters in the US are volunteers and Firefighters do double duty of performing EMS And Fire in the Seattle model. Lets see some loving evidence.

It's amazing how no one comes after your department when it's visibly next to one filled with the literal worst people on the planet.

But it's not like we're defunding the police, anyway.

Just a quick Google, I've seen other more comprehensive breakdowns. Yes, firefighters do double duty in a lot of cases but they already overlap with existing EMS.

If a firetruck pulls up to a house fire, sprays down the family with the hose then hacks them up with their axes while the house burns then they can go in the same category as pigs. Until then they do not intersect imo

An Idaho lawmaker wants to expand a law that bans cannibalism over fears about a rise in human composting.

Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, introduced a bill Thursday to expand the state’s cannibalism ban and told a legislative committee that she’s worried about the possibility that people are eating other people.

“This is going to be normalized at some point, the way our society’s going and the direction we’re going,” Scott said.

Yeah, there is an ACOB aspect to defund the police, but I think there has always been the safer side of the argument that the police waste massive amounts of money on all sorts of dumb poo poo like tanks, robot dogs, etc.

they roll fire trucks to car accidents because you often need lots of equipment to safely secure/evacuate people from inside of a damaged car

'sitting around doing nothing' downtime is a complete joke in actual urban centers (such as dallas) with professional fire & rescue, maybe people sit around all day if you are in some podunink nowheresvile. dallas fire actually recently stopped allowing EMS students from participating with them for EMS training because their call cadence was so extreme. students were passing out because they would be up all night responding to stabbings and poo poo

i literally wanted to go into EMS because of the idea that you 'chill and work out all day while responding to a few calls', plus 2 on 2 off sounded dope as gently caress, didn't take me long to realize that poo poo ain't true and left for another career

lol EMS doesn't get paid for *poo poo* in this country. The huge loving bills you get for an ambulance ride aren't paying the people doing the work they're giving the CEO their third gold plated superyacht with storage for their fourth yacht.

I took a pay cut going from McDonald's to an ambulance. The hours will also thoroughly loving destroy the rest of your life but overtime is the only way to pay rent.

Attacking Taylor Swift is a lesser degree of dick stepping than going after firefighters. When all the other problems are solved we can look at their budgets.
