The firefighters are for the most part, great. The leadership is abhorrent. The deputy chief being by far the worst.
Deputy Chief French will respond to calls at Mach 3, assume command and turn the call into a ****-show. He’s been a SFES lifer and it’s painfully clear he is overmatched, often heard losing his composure on the radio and feeling the need to micro-manage personnel on scene. Do routine ‘trouble breathing’ or alarm calls require the Deputy to tear through residential streets at an obscene speed?
Firefighters who take pride in their hall, show some initiative and ownership are disciplined because the Deputy did not approve the couches in the bay, or the dart board in meeting room, or the exercise equipment in the hall.
The equipment and resources are top notch, the leadership of the department is bottom of the barrel. Most firefighters stay on long enough to find a full-time position on another department and then jump ship.
