A Tennessee Fire Department watched a home burn down and watched the pets die in the fire, refusing to do a single thing because ... the people never paid a $75 fee. The owners offered to pay thousands on the spot, but the so-called humans wouldn't help. Not a drop of water on the fire.

I am so upset. Every day I lose more faith in people and become more disgusted in government.

“This administration is not streamlining the federal government; they are sabotaging it & all of us,” said #NYAG #LetitiaJames, who is leading the challenge filed Monday. “When you fire the #scientists who #research #InfectiousDiseases, silence the #doctors who care for #pregnant people, & shut down the programs that help #firefighters & #miners breathe or #children thrive, you are not making America healthy—you are putting countless lives at risk.”

They supported trump in 2020.

In 2024 they hugged him, welcomed his photo op with cold pizzas, & booed Letitia James. They refused to endorse Harris.

In 2025, trump stripped funding of their 911 health program. He gutted the NIOSH department. And now he's further cutting funding for firefighter health & safety.

Now they discovered REGRETS. That sponsorship of trump by #firefighters may have backfired.

nyc firefighters who supported trump SHOCKED when he screwed them over

"Most notably, about 700 Forest Service employees terminated in mid-February’s “Valentine’s Day massacre” are red-card-carrying staffers, an agency spokesperson confirmed to ProPublica. These workers hold other full-time jobs in the agency, but they’ve been trained to aid firefighting crews, such as by providing logistical support during blazes. They also assist with prescribed burns, which reduce flammable vegetation and prevent bigger fires, but the burns can only move forward if there’s a certain number of staff available to contain them. (Non-firefighting employees without a red card cannot perform such tasks.)

Red-card-carrying employees are the “backbone” of the firefighting force, and their loss will have “a significant impact,” said Frank Beum, a board member of the National Association of Forest Service Retirees who spent more than four decades with the agency and ran the Rocky Mountain Region. “There are not enough primary firefighters to do the full job that needs to be done when we have a high fire season.”

ProPublica spoke to employees across the Forest Service — which manages an area of land nearly twice the size of California — including staff working in firefighting, facilities, timber sales and other roles, to learn how sweeping personnel changes are affecting the agency’s ability to function. The employees said cuts, which have hit the agency’s recreation, wildlife, IT and other divisions, show the Trump administration is shifting the agency’s focus away from environmental stewardship and toward industry and firefighting.

But notwithstanding Trump’s stated guardrails, the cuts have affected the Forest Service’s more than 10,000-person-strong firefighting force."
