' /> Do the Firefighters carry the guns down there?[/quote]
Nope. The former Broward County Fire Rescue was merged under the sheriff's office a couple of years ago. It was to save costs by eliminating administrative and logistical positions and costs. The fire union liked it because they got a nice raise and benefits boost. The fire chief now just reports to the sheriff instead of the county commission. Cops are still cops, firefighters are still firefighters...only wearing different patches and riding apparatus with different lettering. Some people don't even know of the change...all they know is when they dial 911, a big red fire truck shows up.
