| Message | Fire prevention is left to local governmetns...hmm, interesting. So, lets think this through. Fire services are expensive, are they not? So, you could reduce the local budget by reducing the fire department, great they've saved a packet and put peoples lives at risk at the same time, brilliant. The current law does not stop locals from operating the fire service, but what it guarantees is that service is well funded and capable of operating independently or with other sections of the department throughout the Country without concern. This bill puts the lives of Hobrazian citizens at risk. |
