One of the main problems that I see in the fire stations is the weight of the equipment that they have to carry. It is extremely heavy and can sometimes slow the fireman down. The point of the equipment is to prevent the clothes from catching on fire. One of the ways that I would help fix this problem is to talk to my mentor captain Bryan Drolet, and maybe try to get a meeting with the fire chief of Ontario and bring t up to him. From there it will be easier to climb the ladder and eventually talk to people who can fix the problem.

Another problem in my topic is useless house calls. When firefighter go on house calls they normally meet with the paramedics at the house. But most of the time the paramedic already has everything under control and the firefighters don’t need to do anything. I think that that costs the city a lot of money as well as insurances. I don’t know what I can do to maybe slow that down but one idea was to talk to city council ( I have ties with their lawyer) and maybe bring the topic up to them
