Detroit firefighters ordered off ladders on aerial trucks

PS - I want to make it clear that I have a great deal of respect for the DFD employees that are fighting fires and risking lives on a daily basis.

Agreed, but you do raise some good points. Accountability doesn't seem to be one of Detroit's strong points.

It's nice of the US taxpayers to fund a federal grant to the Detroit FD after years of mismanagement, just like the same people funded and took a bath with GM and probably Chrysler. Most fire departments around the country rely and chicken plate dinner sales and other types of fundraising to keep things running.

You honestly believe that FDs throughout the country don't get massive grants? Good to know, now we can discuss me selling you the Ambassador bridge.
