That's my experience in my brigade when I tread the boards, has things changed that much.

Certainly the case in my Fire Authority area, with resources both finances and personnel such as they are, it has never been more important to direct time and effort where it is really needed rather than an inappropriate prosecution, hence a number of levels of checks before a go ahead is given to prosecute.

Hopefully the green horn fire safety officer on a promotion trip would have sufficient line management to report to who should be calming him/her down and pointing out the error of their ways, besides I suspect most brigades have a policy that requires high level authorisation before going to prosecution.

  That made me smile

Not always. Lots of loose canons out there.

Yep I concur

Lots of loose cannons, probably, but as in all walks of life there is good and bad, you will never get a perfect system where a human element exists.
