Does anyone work for or know any one that works for wsfd is so can you tell me about the dept.? I got a chance to test for the dept. and was wanting some information to help make my decision. Thanks

I'll email you some contact info for some of their people. It's a good department, progressive.

Does progressive mean: "We don't need to risk our lives to go into a burning building, most fires can be put out in due time from the outside"

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the slab this morning...

Progressive means they have good long range plans to expand and build the department and it's capabilities. It also means they've been adding personnel regularly since their new chief took his position and while some have left it's due mostly to expansion.

I'm not sure what your comment is based on, but I disagree with it based on what I've seen in this city.
