firefighters are reactionary in the same way that nurses tend to be - they hate taxes and "bureaucracy" and in some cases "wokeness" but will be sympathetic to any person they come across in a state of vulnerability, instead of viewing them with suspicion and wanting to subjugate them like cops do
If your politics don't get in the way of my medical care or my fire being put out, during the time I'm having a medical problem or unwelcome fire I really don't care what their politics are. If my home is ablaze and a fascist goes in to put it out good, he's fixing my fire problem for free and risking harm. It's a double win here.
I have to also point out that whenever pigs and firefighters fight each other, the firefighters usually beat the fuck out of the cops.
This is because firefighters have physical fitness standards
And more of a tendency to run towards danger, rather than away from whatever they percieve as danger. No firefighter is gonna start doing barrel-rolls because of an acorn, that's for sure.
You can’t be 300 pounds and sit in your cruiser in front of the donut shop as a firefighter
I love how French cops and French firefighters have a fued and fight whenever Paris riots
I mean...it's a public serving pretty decent gig where you're on for two weeks but have the next two weeks entirely to do whatever, you need to be buff and you're automatically popular. It's probably one of the best options for an institution to flood with leftists. It's already got a red colour theme going.
They have silver outfits, but yeah. One of the few jobs that lets people just people without any any worries
Red trucc
When you're go to move during a riot is to get your fire gear on, set yourself on fire and calmly walk towards cops, I know which side I'm rooting for without hesitation.
I like to have a red lives matters flag on my car, because cops are easily confused.
They probably still assume you're a Right-winger though?
I've seen chuds who have the thin red, blue, green flag combo. I just assume anyone with any of those or the black and white US flag is a fascist. Am I wrong here? Then again I just assume anyone with any US flag is a fascist.
What's the green stand for? Forestry?
Military I think
You don’t understand the brave sacrifice of those who jerk off in an air-conditioned port-a-potty for several hours a day.
Financial services
🫡 back the boys in blue (armani suits)
border patrol
The thin green line between civilization and a world of stolen picknick baskets
Communist firefighters 
"All workers matter"
I would... if the thin red line was not based on the american flag...
That scene from movies when a lady is like "my baby", but it's an old guy going "my assets" and the cops breaks into the house to rescue hard drives and portfolios.
if only there was some way to unite librarians, firefighters, and based nurses we could actually build a dual power social service system
Firefighters in the US are carbrained macho goobers who insist in unnecessarily oversized apparatuses and consistently fight street safety projects. Don’t tell me they care about lives, they can munch my shit.
I mean yes they are car brained, however, that is America, everything by necessity has to rely on the the car.
I will also point out that in the article mentioned responce times. Now I am not an urban planner, and while I dabble in city design theory from time to time, from their narrow lens prospective I can understand their condenser, especially with the contemporary understanding of bigger road= better traffic flow. Their statement is that these proposals are likely to increase reponse times, and if we look at it from the understanding of city design we are all taught, that would make sense, narrowing the street for any reason will increase congestion and increase response time in kind. Instead what you need to do is help aleviate their consern where it stands. Fires today burn, hotter, faster, and more toxic than ever before, and so any delay is potential lives lost, meet them at their concern, not from the "Oh you car brained goober hating street safety" because that is not what they are against.
Second the "oversized apparatus" I will agree the 3 largest vehicles on the roads today that everyone has seen in the US are the Fire Truck, the Ambulance, and the Simi Truck (no not everyone sees a bus, agian we have no public transportation infrustructure). However I push back on your insenuation that the fire equipment is "oversized" There is a reason they have gotten to this size, and there is a pressure for the smallest fire truck they can use at any given location, because it is far more manuverable, and less likely to get caught up in any trafic. The reason they have gotten bigger is because the extra size gives significantly more use to the truck, weither that be an air bottle re filler, that is essential for long fires, or a stronger pump, or just more hoses.
I am not going to say "all fire fighters are the best humans and none are individualy reactionaries" but like honestly Fire Fighters are awsome... and as a thing we do Based ... and like the meme posted is right... The amount of resources they will expend to save 1 life is awe inspiring, and if that comes at the cost that they are slower to change to narrower streats, because 1 conventional wisdom and 2 with our wider streats they have gotten engines that are more capable but bigger, and so we have to teach them why it will still help responce times, it is a cost I am willing to do
I am here to tell you that in the us, roads are designed to fit apparatuses and not vice versa. Saner sized apparatuses used in Japan and parts of Europe can actually outperform American behemoths but they’re just not as macho
I see more than a couple 'red line' american flags and it's always mixed feelings
Same, I squint really hard at first because I think it's thin blue line flag, but then relax after seeing it's the thin red line, but then again wonder if it's a coded dog whistle.
