Inland fire departments now billing users for some services they provide

Inland fire departments whose funding has been siphoned amid the economic downturn are finding other revenue sources.

These fockers have got it made right now. Lower their f'ing wages, being a fire fighter is a walk in the park. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise, these guys aren't heroes. Give me a hose a few times a week and I'll put out some fires! F... lazy, greedy firemen and women wasting our tax dollars.

[oh la la]

fire fighters earn huge salaries. just look at all the high priced vehicles parked at any fire house and check out the high priced homes they live in.
just remember, there are thousands of people willing to take those high paying jobs away from those who complain.

just my opinion.

[just saying]

The 2 posts must be from the unemployed. Don't stereotype firemen in general. Hemet Fire make almost double of what the county makes and work less. So don't judge, come ride out and see if you are up to it. It looks easy from your recliner......just stop by haters!

Like I said, give me a hose and I'll put out some fires you little b!atch. Hate to burst your bubble but firefighting ain't sh!at bud. FYI...I got a good job, own a few homes and run amuck whenever I want.

Being a fireman in these parts is a f'n cakewalk, don't let anyone fool you.

Question for you mr slap happy. have you ever been inside a burning building for 3 hours at 4 in the morning after running 30 med aids the past day and a half. have you ever had to tell a young mother that her 6 month old son is dead and there is nothing more you can do. have you ever been held over for 21 days because there is a large fire in another part of the state. i have done all of these things more than once. how dare you call us lazy. you have no idea what our job entails so you might want to keep your mouth shut. firefighters who retire after 30 years on the job only live an average of 7 years after they retire and miss out on many holidays, birthdays, births, and many other functions you hold dear because people don't stop calling 911. ill end on that note

Firefighters have got it made got it made focker and you know it. Don't give me your "whoa is me" BS. Overpaid, underworked, whinyass firefighters...whats new. Just shut the f*** up and be thankful the majority of the citizens still buy into the idea that firemen are hardworkers so you can continue to milk the system.
