First, all you people that have never put your life on the line in the Fire service need to shut up before everyone realizes how dumb you really are. This man and his family lost everything in this fire and his concern is that when the county took over the volunteer services, they lost about 80% of the people and equipment that was already in place to protect the neighborhood he lives in. It is not the fire fighters that caused the equipment to leave the area and be reallocated to other neighborhoods, it is the politicians and heads of the NHC Fire Dept. that did this to the entire county.

I also want to say that I am extremely disappointed that our supposed news source even allows this crap to be published!
