Misuse of a Firefighter
September 08, 2005
FEMA just keeps getting worse and worse. Why are they using over 1,000 firefighters from across the country for community relations work, rather than rescue?
A little history. Last week FEMA put out a call for 1,000 two-person firefighter teams, all of whom needed to be career firefighters. They were all sent to Atlanta, and have now been sitting there for a day or more, going through sexual harrassment training and being trained how to hand out fliers.
HAND OUT FLIERS? These are professional firefighters, why is FEMA using them, instead of other concerned volunteers? These firefighters could be out relieving tired NOFD members, or others in Mississippi… Completely ridiculous.

I mean if they were firefighter volunteers or something but full time firefighters? Why waste their time? Sexual harrassment may need to be quickly addressed but I'm sorry its the last thing the people in New Orleans are worried about right now.
