It's not standard practice to pick people with zero firefighting experience though. Daniel Nigro, Cassano, von Essen, Feehan, etc. were all former firefighters that rose through the ranks. Safir was a federal agent and US Marshal. Even Scoppetta was at least was a previous gov't administrator.

Don't take it personally. Some people are just weird. I have a guy on here who follows/unfollows me every month it seems. When I talk about politics, he unfollows me. As soon as he sees my posts about wargaming/miniatures, he is back to following me. 😂
