Just one more example of the pathetic EDDFP district always in need of another agencies help.
Thanks Cal Fire and Con Fire. Glad to see no lives or structures were lost. Leaders and Union thugs, just keep rolling the dice with peoples lives. Eventually you will be responsible for this unnecessary situation the public has been placed in.

Those “union thugs” are your firefighters literally breaking their backs for you. Show some gratttude Its the public rolling the dice by refusing to support its own fire district

Get rid of union thugs Jul 19, 2015 - 11:40 am

Ya, the ones who are pushing the Chief overboard? Great set of people. Union thugs are the problem in this mess. Trying to blame the Chief and the public for not allowing other ideas does not deserve gratitude.
