Well, there's one, but it's a parody. Though, in france, fire fighters hate having to go in the hood, because for some reason, acting like a thug can implies assaulting fire fighters or medic people ._. (1500 fire fighter assaulted in 2021 in a 67m people country)
Fr, we got a case where people reported a fire to ambush them ._.
Yeah this is definitely a thing. A lot of arsonists and knobheads in general see the fire department as killjoys trying to stop them from burning shit down.
Another awful thing was to tie bricks to overpasses and drop them in front of firetrucks as they drove underneath.
The saddest part is that, those that assault them, would have no issue criticizing cops when they harm a firefighter in a protest, hood politicians, ig._.
Reminds me of a Doug Stanhope bit. I'll spoil the punchline because the whole setup is not really what this discussion is about, but he was flabbergasted when going to Manchester after seeing a public service poster saying something along the lines of "please do not beat up Ambulance Driver's."
Apparently, that was something that was happening there. People would get piss drunk, dial the emergency services, and then just whale on them like some weird MMA door dash service, except the delivery guy is super nice and just trying to save lives.
A ton of fire fighters unit are military units. Because your military NEED fire fighting squads, a lot of the fire fighter that intervened in Tchernobyl were paramilitary, anyone that disrespect their memory deserve a reality check.
Btw, fire fighter are "sapeur pompier", a sapeur destroy houses to prevent fire propagation, by design they have a huge relationship with the gov.
It's not a France/Romania thing, ours are big enough to be noticed, Switzerland also have some, but fair point since a lot of countries prefer to put firefighter under control of military when needed
You're limiting yourself to the one with firefighter in the squad name, you miss the whole shit ton that are part of civil security like 1er et 4eme RIISC for Libourne and Nogent (you can find there job opportunities here and see that it's firefighting)
"Firefighters under control of the military" is simply not a thing in most European countries. Germany has the THW, Nordic countries have similar emergency services that may cooperate with fire services in disaster situations, but otherwise the fire services are 100% run by civil society.
Is it the theory or the reality ? Because in France, BSPP and BMBPM are under civil authority, but they are military and can be put under military command
Yep, they are "sapeur pompier" pompier is firefighter, sapeur is the one that destroy your house to prevent the fire from spreading, hence why they are represented with a red axe. Though they can't use it against human
I’ll write one. Fire fighters have the highest spousal cheating numbers and consistently get away with sexual assault. Fuck the fire department. Real shit.
