'Firemen don't have a Chance'

[Jimmy_91]

Below is what is written on a sign on the notice board at our fire station.

When the fire trucks are delayed 40 seconds in traffic, People say:
"It took them 20 minutes to get here."

When the truck races at 40 m.p.h., it's:
"Look at those reckless fools."

When four men struggle with a eight-man ladder:
"They don't even know how to raise a ladder."

When firemen open windows for ventilation to reduce heat in fighting a fire:
"Look at the wrecking crew."

When they open the floor to get at a blaze:
"There goes the axe squad."

If the chief stands back, where he can see and direct his men, people say:
"He's afraid to go where he sends his men."

If they lose a building:
"It's a lousy department."

If they make a good "stop" folks say:
"The fire didn't amount to much."

If lots of water is necessary:
"They are doing more damage with water than the flames."

If a fireman gets hurt:
"He was a careless guy."

It a citizen gets hurt:
"It's a crazy department."

If a fireman inspects a citizen's property:
"He's meddling in somebody's business."

If he wants a fire hazard correct:
"I'll see the mayor"

If he gets killed and leaves a family destitute:
"That's the chance he took when he joined the fire department."

Geeze, they could have spent 30 seconds adapting for the CFS:


When the fire trucks are delayed 10 minutes waiting for crew, People say:
"It took them 20 minutes to get here."

When the truck races at 110km/h around a corner and lands on its roof, it's:
"Look at those reckless fools."

When two men struggle with a two-man ladder:
"They don't even know how to raise a ladder."

When firemen unnecessarily smash windows for ventilation to reduce heat in fighting a fire:
"Look at the wrecking crew."

When they open the floor, in the wrong place, to get at a blaze:
"There goes the axe squad."

If the chief stands back, afraid to make decisions, people say:
"He's afraid to go where he sends his men."

When they lose a building, due to poor turnout times and lack of training:
"It's a lousy department."

If they make a good "save" folks say:
"Pinch me, I'm asleep and dreaming"

If lots of water is necessary to make it look like they know what they are doing:
"They are doing more damage with water than the flames."

If a fireman gets hurt:
"He was a careless guy."

It a citizen gets hurt:
"It's a crazy department."

When a fireman inspects a citizen's property:
"You're not trained to inspect my property"

If he wants a fire hazard correct:
"You're not trained to enforce the BCA"

If he gets killed and leaves a family destitute:
"That's the chance he took when he joined the CFS"
