I just dont understand why it cant be accepted that there is a demographic that is more prone to apply for the job while others just simply dont want to be firefighters?
I think its just the new generations of people have a sense of entitlement to everything and if someone doesn't score high enough to get a job they act like they are being singled out....

Sudden Thought: Budget woes?? Close Recruiting Offices, Bet most "Big City Paid Depts" won't notice any decline in Applications.
Originally posted by FireFussThe problem with that is most of the guys/gals in the "recruiter" spots are ducks and scared to fight fire anyways.

Funny how some have a reversed opinion within the 'noose knot' thread. They say it has political correctness implications case closed. This issue borders on the same theory and it involves PC. The imbalance of race within a department because certain groups are going to take offense. Those who said the noose knot was a sign of racism (cased closed) now say that an imbalance in race within Indy's fire department should not be viewed from a racism standpoint, but from a practical standpoint, as it should be.
The situation of Indy absorbing other departments is just logical and any cries of improper balance of race within is not practical.
The noose knot is the same. do not allow any connotations of racism to be allowed. It is just a knot and Indy's absorbing of other departments is just being done for practical reasons and racial claims are not logical.

If there's a "diversity problem" after the merger, doesn't that logically imply that there was a "diversity problem" before the merger as well? After all, the communities represented by the new merged department have merged as well, haven't they?"Nemo Plus Voluptatis Quam Nos Habant"

The Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

Its just a load of crap and does nothing for the fire fire service at all but create trouble that we don't need.Stay Safe
