the marina i’m moored next to has a fire station that houses the fire boats

i’m told that in fifteen years they have never put out a fire

a boat at the marina actually caught on fire and it was a fire truck from across town that responded...although the waterborne fire brigade was so close next door they could have put the fire out without leaving their dock

the first year of Zero’s presidency, they not only replaced their fireboat with a state of the art jet-powered fire fighting vessel, they threw in five additional smaller boats...i have seen one of these rescue an injured skier, and once they brought a drowned body in...other than that no one has ever seen them on duty in any capacity

once a week they don spotless drycleaned blue uniforms and take the big fireboat out for a joyride...love to know how much firemen who never put out a fire get paid

Find out what they get paid.

My town publishes every salary paid by the town every year,including names.

I’m sure that info would be available.
