Some of my best mates have been key volunteer personnel in the CFA for decades. Until they passed away, so were my father-in-law and two of my uncles.
They're among the first to lament what's been directed their way from CFA command and actively called for changes - not just to bigger and better fire trucks and aerial water bombers either!
You're kidding yourself if you think everything is just hunky-dory in the CFA ... does Fiskville - PFAS ring any bells for you?
