Have you ever felt that we firefighters are our own worst enemies? Have you ever heard the members talking about “how” and “why” we don’t get this or that? Sometimes, it’s eye-opening to listen to what firefighters say around the kitchen table or in the watch room. The talk will revolve around how this company can or can’t do this or that and how the members need to train more. They’ll talk about how administration is putting out more memos or directives and is killing them with paperwork. They will finally digress to how “they” are micromanaging them to death and how “they” don’t trust “us.”
Firefighters can solve the world’s problems during these discussions, but if you try to actually implement some of their solutions, they would just as soon take you out back and tie you to a tree! It has been said that you can ask a firefighter to help you with any favor or project, but ask him to do his job and he will hate you forever.
