Both D.C. firefighters and police officers are upset over a new program that forces the fire department to help fight crime. For the past three weeks, D.C. Fire and EMS personnel have been parking their trucks at high crime neighborhoods.
"It's to prevent things from bubbling up. The idea is that if you have a fire engine with adults there no one is going to commit a crime," said D.C. Deputy Mayor Paul Quander. City officials said they just want firefighters to call 911 if they see suspicious activity. The D.C. police union and firefighters union say the plan is not safe.

They have been issued water guns , I guess it's like taking a knife to a gun fight.
thats one way to save tax payers money. when will salisbury start a program doing this. fire fighters dont have enough to do so this should occupy their time some.
