I agree with the Chief. There is no excuse NOT to wear your seatbelt. I hope they put interlock devices on fire trucks that prevent it from being shifted into gear without everyone wearing one. Yes our job is dangerous and this one small preventable things we can do. In my opinion, there is no valid excuse for not wearing your seatbelt. In fact, our city will not cover your bills if it is proven you were not wearing your seatbelt.
