Not to mention the "trauma days" firefighters get with pay after responding to a fire. It could be as simple as a shed fire but they still get days off with pay to recuperate. Same thing with bad auto accidents they respond to. Learned this from 2 firefighters. One a Dallas firefighter the other an Amarillo firefighter. These government agencies have been part of the grift (just as the politicians are) for many years at the taxpayers expense. Many are just silent about it because they want the money train to keep rolling in.
Well, since this was a CA article.... I know of ZERO departments in CA that have "trauma days". I have had multiple multiple alarm fires in a shift and didnt get a paid day off from it. After 2 week assignments, one may possibly get an R&R day on return. But rarely does that happen now-a-days. TX sounds cool.
