Is being Chief Really Worth it?

Dave Statter reported on the latest saga in the DCFD. It centers around council blaming the hydrnat problems on their Chief, Dennis Rubin. The Chief thinks that he isn’t getting enough credit for making headway in the laundry list of issues plaguing the department.

The whole hydrant issue came to the forefront after a mansion burned because there wasn’t enough water on the hydrants. You can read the entire report here. Be sure to read the comments at the link.

My question is this: Is being the Chief really worth it?
