I think this move would really boost firefighter moral. We get tried of the same old stuff day in and day out. After a long day of structure fires, major vehicle accidents, heart attacks, shootings, stabbings, ob gyn crap, assisting invalids, helping injured, medical emergencies, fire hydrant maintenance, getting cat’s out of trees and chasing women at the grocery store, this would bring great joy to a normally typical day in the big city, and bring the fire bubba’s much joy!

If we are out on the air and see a smoker, normal protocol will be to hose them down. If we happen to be in the house and get a smoker run from main dispatch, Engine 34 multiple smoker’s at the bus stop, corner of Ave. E and 5th street, use extreme caution, extra apparatus and chief will be sent.

If fire department can’t handle the smoker emergency, there is always the police swat team, wonder what the police deadly force policy will be for those nasty smoker’s?
