Detroit Fire Department is facing a city budget in trouble and has had to lay off firefighters. Fire Commissioner Don Austin, according to an internal memo, is considering expanding a civilian ride-along program to invite firefighters from ho-hum not so busy stations around the world to have a shot at some get down Motown-style real firefighting.
“That’s not the answer, no. We need firefighters, our laid off guys back. That’s what we need.”
– Darnell McLaurin with DFAA Local 344

You can help pull hose.
You can help pull hose.
