well, who's gonna save the public if the crew can't??

Exactly...geez
That's SOP for any emergency crews. It's not a disregard for the public, it's the best way forward in an emergency.
Still to make that EXACT statement goes agains every thing that a fire dept/ LEO stands for.
It was a very bad choice of words. If he had said something like the safty of our crews is of the utmost importance( which is what the story is about) that would have been onthing. To say the public comes second implys that they are more worried about themselfs then those they are PAID to protect.
So if the rescuer is in deep shit, he's got a lesser chance of surviving draggin the rescuee with him. Makes perfect sense to me. At the end of the day they have families they want to go home to as well.

I understand what your saying and I agree with it for the most part.( 1st resonpce is paid to but themselfs in harms way to protect the public... alot of them seem to forget that) I still think to make a statement like: " The safty of our crews comes 1st, the safty of the public comes 2nd and the safty of our equipment comes 3rd" Is a very bad choice of words. There is a dozen other things he could have said that would have made this a none issue.
I think it's great to see a Fire Chief be a Fire Chief instead of a politician. Don't know what Chief that was, but good for him.
