Wildland firefighting is totally different than urban firefighting. You will get urban firefighters killed sending them in there. It’s just a different beast, with totally different tactics.
FDNY is used to fighting fires in tenements and high rise buildings. I had to reign those dudes in during...

If some teacher goes home at night and makes cutting boards in his shop and on the weekends and all summer, why should he get reduced SS if he is paying into it like his neighbor?...

Why should I get penalized for being a firefighter for 16 years, then working in the private sector for 30 years?? I will get $2,000 a month from my pension. Why should my SS get dinged that I will have paid into just as much as anyone else?...
