The definition of minimal is a small amount, or the least amount possible. When you put forth the least amount of effort possible, this is an example of a time when you put forth minimal effort.
Unacceptable is not satisfactory or allowable.
Minimal is unacceptable to us. To have that mindset of "I'm just going to do enough to get by," or "I'm going to teach them just enough to not get hurt," or "I'm going to implement the less amount of staffing required to save money," is a huge disservice to the citizens relying on us.
It's pure complacent and ultimately dangerous. You can get luckily successful at barely skating by before tragedy occurs, and you had the means to be better, to do better, but you chose not to. We're not about that.
Our community demands us to be in top shape, extremely proficient at our job, and deserves to have more than just a civilian in bunker clothes responding to their emergencies.
This isn't a game, a country club we just show up at and pray we don't run calls. It's the fire service. Respect it. There is no room for minimal anything here.
Set The standard. -Snow
