PAPD

[jlg1875]

It's about time, no reason that some of the busiest airports in the US don't have the best fire protection, and that doesn't mean police officers who have no interest in firefighting, or worse, aren't trained to be firefighters (which is apparently what the PAPD was caught doing during an FAA inspection, using police officers as warm bodies when their arff trained officers weren't available). However, I find it comical that the FAA fined the Port Authority $3.5 million, which will be paid with our area's taxpayer dollars. At least if the money was used to help set up the new fire dept would make sense, but why would we do anything that makes sense.
