Quote:It's one thing when the folks who work on certain equipment have something negative to say about it. It's a damn near prerequisite in the fire service to be able to bitch and complain well, to an extent. Remarks made twenty and thirty years ago have a tendency to become gospel , retold and embellished along the way. What I do find quite strange is the buff that spews negative rhetoric about a company for many reasons.
The whole fdny thing for example . Kme seems to be working out pretty well for them. Yet people still stick with the comments made before purchase and use and how they'll blow up the first time you place them in pump. Boston seems to like theirs, seek to be working great . I believe a company deserves the right to fix the problems of the past and become a better company. Some of today's buffs don't seem to want took at it this way.
Likewise certain brands that once had great reputations are today building an inferior product, but continue to sell based on peoples assumptions that they are the same as what they were building 20 years ago.
