Flint MIchigan Fire Dept

This is a truly disturbing report on the Flint Michigan Fire Dept. I just found out that they have gone from 130+ firefighters down to 18 and this report was back in 2005 before the staffing change. I can understand that the city has had money problems for years but most of the stuff in the report outlines a total failure of leadership from the Chief all the way down to company level. I cant even imagine running 2-6 working fires a day with only 18 firefighters. What are your thoughts on this.
