Times are for sure changing for the WORST. Just the other day, was on OT on the Engine and we parked in the fire lane in front of the Kroger(supermarket), when got back to station, advised to call Battalion 1, who was cool as Hell, but regardless we got a complaint from a low ranking City Manager that was "very upset" that we broke the LAW by parking in the Fire Lane,we all had to be reminded that we must follow ALL the LAWS when not on an Emergency call,great now we will park the truck way in the back parking area, so not to get blocked in or hit a car pulling in or out, and have a delayed response time,plus what about the HUNDREDS of times, kids and their parents walk up to see the "Big red" truck, Public Education/Service all the time, NO ONE calls and thanks us (hardly,bless the hearts of the ones that DO and it means A LOT),but we sure hear about all the complaints and QUICKLY,times are changing,glad I am more then half way through my career,wouldn't want to start now.
