Re(2): State of the Squad

This comment is spot-on. The diver requirement has been keeping good firefighters off the squads for years now. It's dumb. It is not as if there is a national or state or even insurance requirement to have the certs that the CFD wants members to have to get on the squad. It is a self-imposed set of criteria that has resulted in the department crippling itself. No one to blame here but 35th St. brass who seem completely out of touch.
