    Being a fireman is a brave and noble profession without a doubt.
    No1 should die on the job but just as a stat I remember doing my safe pass recently and I think the HSA recorded 18 deaths in the construction industry alone in this country in 2006. This is not even recording serious injuries which run into hundreds. I dont know what it is for firemen.
    So danger is not just limit to one profession.
    And basing an argument how dangerous a job is, should not be brought up in an argument about money at all. Full stop!
    Its like saying I should be paid to drive on the nations roads due to high stats of road deaths because there is a higher potental to die behind the wheel.
    I hope Im not being insensitive with this post but sry thats the way I see it.:(

    of course it should not be used as an arguement , any reasonable person can see that but the public sector are willing to say anything when it comes to defending their pay packets , everything including the kitchen sink will be thrown

    Actually if you took the time to trace back the posts you would see that this argument was put up by a public sector basher 'peter the tool' post #130, claiming firemen and guards should not be paid high wages when the are as much at risk as private sector workers.... not by a public sector poster...

    If you keep this up you'll start arguing with yourselves...:p
