Tag Archives: Firefighter Forums

You should read the story. FDNY hasn't willingly opened its doors to felons. As a matter of fact, the city's notice to applicants still states that convicted felons "are not eligible for appointment to this position."

The forum topic got 22 pages of comments over the past 4 months almost to the day. Over that 4 months, the discussion would fade off and every couple of weeks it would get revived and many more comments would be added. The total was somewhere around 260 comments. That isn't too bad. I actually left the discussion after making my point that NO, felons should not be firefighters. Many said that some felonies were not bad. I then asked anyone to name a GOOD felony. No takers.
