This sort of drivel reminds me of how my youngest grandson goes frog hunting at BT Manor. He keeps on lifting rocks until he finds one. Leave no stone unturned and all that.

Seek and ye shall find.

As BT says. They're grown men and women in a sometimes stressful job, there'll be banter and piss taking and isolated incidents. How could there not be, but basically that report is fit for the dustbin only.

A fancy Turkish style restaurant a mile from us seriously caught fire a month ago mon ami smack bang right on our nearest major cross-road.

The roof was seriously on fire and there was a serious threat to the immediate neighbourhood.

The local Fire Brigade had three engines on site with about 20 firemen/people? on site within minutes.

Major roof repairs are currently being undertaken.

Everyone in Astley Bridge says what a set of heroes these fire fighters are. I agree.

Just as I thought it's more click bait to get you to read their dribble. Always held the fire brigade and their staff in high esteem.

Is someone seriously trying to tell me a fireman and a bent policeman pose the same risk to Joe Public on everyday operations..?

I don't know about opening ex-military camps, we need to open a few more lunatic asylums.

The Fire Service is very much like life in the military. Stressful situations and working as a team where you need the full confidence in the person working next to you. Both the Fire service and the military have their own unique form of 'Banter' and humour which we all know would not be acceptable in todays PC attitude.
