| I agree with Janos (whats the world coming to )
The investigation is a necessary evil that should highlight the shortcomings in procedure that left the volunteer without the safety equipment that would have made the rescue safer.
At the end of the day people do put their lives at risk for others ...volunteer retained firefighters enter burning buildings.. Lifeboat crews go to sea in condiions that make me scared to my bones. They do that with the best equipment available but actually when it comes down to it ....they would do it bare assed naked if that was the only way because thats what they do!
Its disgusting that the MCA feels it has to have a witchhunt over what was a heroic act. One of many by all of our brave volunteers. |
