I'll say it. Firefighters are just cops with less training and a bigger hero complex. Out on the streets they are toxic and domineering as hell without any justification for their authority outside of fighting fires.
The ones I've known wouldn't even rescue a cat. The adult world isn't a world where first responders are cuddly safe adults anymore, if it ever was.
Fire fighting in much of the US is intertwined with religion and a weird brotherhood like the freemasons. They don't have to be douches, it seems to be a culture thing from McChristianity.
