There Is A Fire Out of Control

There are fires of unrest , unemployment, under employment, mis-education, mis-representation, domestic violence, drugs and gang activity RAGING in many communities. However when we talk with the so called leaders/Firefighters about putting these symbolic fires out they say " Let's have a town meeting about these fires, or I've got some good movies about putting out fires, or There has always been fires, or I'm not sure if we are licensed to put out fires or why don't you leave me your card and at our next meting I will ask the rest of the Board what they want to do about the fires." and so on and so on. What about the group who rush to put the fire out but put their ladder on the wrong building . This means they set up programs that look good to the program monitors but don't address the real needs of those dying in these fires.

There are some who also say that "There is no fire in "MY" neighborhood." Take notice! The winds of society is blowing this fire worldwide.

Do you remember the volunteer fire department that was made up of people who would stop what they were doing and work shoulder to shoulder with their neighbor to put out a fire? The people who may not have had the skills to work the advance 2005 hose system BUT they knew that a bucket of water or sand might help a little. They worked above and beyond with what they had in the face of the fire and stayed until the job was done.

Are there any Real Firefighters left? There is a fire RAGING in our communities.

Dr. Respect, you identified the #1 contributors of fire-related deaths: (1) The Non-smoke Detectors--the so called leaders, firefighters & Board; (2) The Smoke Inhalators--the Group who rush to put the fire out but put their ladders on the wrong building; and (3) the Backdrafters--those who say "there's no fire in MY neighborhood"). Yes, there are some real firefighters out there, and their hands are full heightening society's awareness to not become a fire casualty of (1) (2) or (3)--they, such as yourself, are the Volunteers.
