We didn't get written up or lose pay, so it was a wash.

But yes, it would have been funny to do that.

Missed the opportunity to watch them get chewed out by the fire department leadership.

Don't get me started.

I can go for hours about how messed up the Fire Dept management is.

When Fire took over EMS exactly one Fire Chief took the time to do some EMS ride alongs. The rest of the brass ignored and/or sabotaged EMS in order to get rid of the oldtimers so they could be replaced by lower paid newbies.

Fire Chiefs would have either sided with the EMS bosses, or, more likely, petitioned the city for more money to train EMS in how to use the extinguishers properly.
