What will they use firearms for? There is no relationship between a firefighter and firearms. I’ve never heard that firefighters had been attacked. But if truly they get attacked, they should be assigned police to provide security for them instead of giving them arms.

We’ve had a series of stray bullets and accidental discharge cases. It is also another financial burden on the state. I believe that firefighters need not be armed.
