Quote of the Day

IMHO firefighters are the only true heroes in this country. They sustain a far higher risk of injury and death than any cop or military person, they frequently do it as volunteers, and they don't get nice fancy medals like purple hearts or congressional medals of honor for the lives and property they save.

That being said, private fire fighting is how the practice started, and non-profit private organizations is how I think it should be run. The ONLY advantage that public fire departments have is that their very expensive equipment can be purchased with borrowing at much lower rates of interest because the government has the power to tax.
