79. I realize that now, but the voices you picked were in the vast
minority-

And the responses from those against the choice not to act as they are trained to act really speak to the voices of firefighters everywhere imo.

The IAFF came out vocally against this issue- and there are people who claim to be firefighters who defend the inaction, it's pretty clear that they don't represent the perspective of those who are actually on the ground doing the work.

here's a link to the IAFF's statement-
