Some say , " That is what they signed on for " ! Of course those saying that , would be the LAST to VOLUNTEER ! Same people regard those returning home , injured or even " Physically Challenged ", after serving in the Military as having " Chosen " to take those " Risks " when signing on for that " Career Choice "!
WRONG , WRONG attitude ! These people are serving YOU and I , someone has to work in these essential services or we ALL will be just as well be back living in caves , since carrying a bucket of water to the fire , if you can find the water , would be the only solution . Certainly the old western movies showing " Bucket Chains " to fight fires still exists in the 21st century in parts of the world .
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT ?
UNINSURED " FIREFIGHTERS " this is what this is about !
Horrified as an ex bushie from Oz and the Volunteer Bushfire brigade that there are " Professional Fire Fighters " that are UNINSURED by their Community , or is it Country !
Reading " Change.org " today i found this Petition !
http://www.change.org/petitions/give-health-care-to-firefighters-who-battle-wildfires?utm_source=action_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jqnLlliwJA&alert_id=jqnLlliwJA_utOqIehVOr
WHY in this 21st century World , are the people who safeguard our lives and property treated with such disregard ? Can you imagine " Police Officers " being UNINSURED by their Community ?
Time for ALL THINKING CITIZENS to act . Do as i have done , not only sign the " petition " but checkout the status of your local " Firefighters , Volunteers as well as Pros " , make sure they are FULLY COVERED and if not enquire as to the reasons for any shortfall !
Those finding their " Guardian Angels " are NOT FULLY INSURED should act to highlight these discrepancies by campaigning with their local Politicians !
" NO " is not an Answer ,
" Will look into it " is not an answer ,
" Will get back to you " , is not an answer !
POSITIVE ACTION at a local level will be the first step to getting National Action !
When people GO IN HARMS WAY on OUR behalf , they and their families , regardless of Cost , deserve to be FULLY COMPENSATED or we ALL may find to our detriment an unacceptable alternative !
DO IT NOW !
