    Let's not forget about the immediately injured people too. One of his brethren was hurt in the ordeal as was a passenger on the train. Thankfully all minor but call a stupid act what it is- a stupid act on this guy's watch.

    Sure the driver was an idiot but the problem lies with the officer of that squad. Shouldn't they be ones responsible for their crews actions? IIRC, there's a supervisor who's job it is to prevent stupid mistakes from happening. Sorry & it sucks but there's more than enough blame to go around and one mistake [[albeit an expensive one) doesn't outweigh the good these guys do on a daily basis.

    Exactly what is wrong with so many things today. Nobody is responsible for anything it's always someone elses fault.

    Yes, the supervisor should have noticed it was on the tracks but the numb nuts who was driving shoudn't have parked it there in the first place.

    Of, course in typical Detroit and union fashion nothing will come of this. The firefighter who was driving will be suspended with pay for a few weeks thanks to the union and somehow the money Detroit will get from insurance will not be spent on a new fire truck.
