Al-Jazeera, citing some firefighters, assessed the situation of the American fire department on the verge of a crisis and added: The lack of experience in the fire department’s leadership teams has increased the risk of life for the fire department.
This media wrote: American firefighters believe that if the problems of payment and working conditions are not corrected, the country will lose the ability to deal with future fires.
Al-Jazeera considered the American firefighters disappointed in the improvement of the situation and added: Pressure on Congress to support the firefighters more has been proposed as a solution, but the firefighters do not have much hope of improving their conditions in the near future.
Many US media criticized former President Joe Biden’s administration for spending billions of dollars of their assets on the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
These media have announced the low wages of firefighters and the lack of professional firefighters, the lack of sufficient firefighting equipment, the lack of water in the neighborhood’s fire hydrants, and the wind as the cause of the recent terrible fire in Los Angeles.
At the same time, the administration of Donald Trump, the current president of the United States of America, has also shown favor to the firefighters and from the very beginning of the work, he has taken a contractionary approach regarding the federal government’s budget expenses, which destroys the ground for improving the conditions of government employees.
