Cut their benefits. Pension for life for serving 4 year term is absurd.

@@anthonythorp7291 well the 4 year term is in the constitution so you can't change it wheather you like it or not

@@jadenjacobs8667 "Cut their benefits ". 4 years of work anywhere else does not get you a full pension. It is the pension that needs change. They work several short term positions collecting several pensions. There should be one central pension for gov workers.

@@jadenjacobs8667 you can make an amendment to it but thats what you get when you let democrats run something

You’re about 7 years late bud

@@coolbeyblade5 sad

They don’t have cash dude, why don’t you donate money?

@@groundofbeing9733 Because tax payers pay taxes It’s not tax payers fault Politicians don’t know how to manage money

Odd the way KZfaq works lol and nobody looks at the dates . But firehouses are always falling apart around us. They will build a nice place then never ever spend any money on maintaining it .

They probably buy new ones each year But its detroit you cant have nice shit no matter what

Space heater is OK for building of that size

There wasn't much they could do. The city of Detroit had a horrible budget 5 or so years ago. Many vehicles were out of service and needed repairs.

@@MD88Pilot bruh you could buy a few hundred dollar heaters (which would be baller IMO) and boom your set just turn it off when you gotta open the doors and fire them up when you settle in but better yet just buy the 15 dollar heaters for each fire fighters bunk and then boom you gotta a typical detroit solution to a typical detroit problem 😁👍

Banned for an opinion? Considering you are so opinionated you be first.

Yes tragically lieing media is every where

Kim Craig is so SPOT-ON!!!!!

Sowas würde man eher in Russland erwarten und nicht in den USA..... Erschreckend....., erst recht in Anbetracht der Tatsache das Feuerwehrleute in den USA ja offenbar ein extrem hohes Ansehen genießen.

Now, he is off and hopefully back to LA! ;o)

Jon Williams that's Detroit to everyone.

@@javieranguiano4654 , so what ever happened to Flint's water problem?

They left for a reason. Theft, vandalism, violence makes it hard to stay in business. And this happened before BLM movement.

@@anthonythorp7291 even worse because of the BLM movement. All it caused by was violence and vandalism. What a joke.

@@jonathanjacobo612 BLM is a political movement and sadly has nothing to do with solving problems. I was willing to jump on the bandwagon till I got better informed. I support the blacks.....correction, colored in their plite but do not support BLM.

there's still no money lol

It’s sealed up you moron.

Total BS. One guy on bereavement and the heat can't be dealt with at a fire house until the local news steps in? Total BS. If it's true, it's still BS-incompetence running the department.

If I understood what he said correctly, he was talking about speaking to the owner of the company contracted to work on the heating system.

@@collin2864 ... that makes more sense.

exactly and I don't know why more people don't understand that

@Kyle McCullough The whole country is reaching a crumbling state! It doesn't matter which side you vote for. We should not be giving "foreign aid" to any country!

@Kyle McCullough agreed but if you were bankrupt you wouldn't be giving money to other people.

You could give Detroit 100billion dollars and still nothing would change

Nice profile pic crackhead 😊

Yep.

been this way for decades there equipment is so out of date it is sad. Yet we can have major sports complexes yet we need someone in there to take the city back

*hears phone ringing in the background trying to call the fire department*

@@jimrootismypresident3067 LOL

Shit; where's Wolchek? He runs the HALL OF SHAME!!!!!

Exactly. I smell the bs from here.

Yep just today! Glad it was.

Nope, not me. You can't prove it was.🙃

Yea and all of them have been about detroit

They would’ve wasted it then or it would’ve been embezzled😂This video is aged, Detroit’s doing a lot better now.

***** You feel good about yourself, that you corrected this guy on his punctuation? Fuckin tool.

***** Apostrophe (‘) - (punctuation mark) a symbol that stands in for omitted characters (as in a contraction), marks the possessive form, or in rare cases, creates a plural form.

Touche good sir. I stand corrected.

Lee: What? This isn't school! This is KZfaq!

Lee: I already know how to write and spell. Just what's the point on doing it on a place where you watch videos and have fun?

They created their own problems.

Housing, food, education. Way too many programs out there. They're all being abused and all need restructuring.

+Amanda Garcia paramedics need some of that heat too

Amanda Garcia the garbage men and coroner's office needs heat also...just saying

Aaaahhhh the fidgety burn of herpes used for public service!

But shouldn't have been that way to begin with.

@@anthonythorp7291 Oh, absolutely. It was even worse than the "no power" story. I was a firefighter in a city near Detroit, and around that time I went to Eastern Market in Detroit one day and one of their pumpers was parked there. The engineer was in the truck while the officer was doing business inspections. I asked the engineer if things were getting any better for them, and he told me to go to the back of the truck and look under the tarp on the hose bed. There was not a single length of hose on that pumper -- the city claimed they had no money for hose -- and the engineer told me that the city demanded that the truck be kept in service. They would rather have had a useless truck "in service" than have a station shut down which would look bad to the public. I suggested the papers should be told about it, and he said I was free to try, but others already had with zero results. You're right that it never should've been that way, but, like I said, things are much better now, at least for the Fire Dept.

You do no they have to follow the building codes and just can't do anything they want due to this. I dont agree with it, but it could make it worse for them and why should they have to fix problems that the city should be doing anyways. That's suppose to be what the tax money goes towards.

@@ericpippen7915 . It's nothing out of the ordinary for someone to hook up an external heater it's no big deal those air conditioners didn't come from the city,, somebody brought them from somewhere and put in the window
