		<description><![CDATA[Considering this is about the wrong barracks they have forgotten what side to get up on.

Unclear why they are even following UK standards for firefighting. Bermuda has different voltage so why are they so pressed to follow a failing UK guideline. More Cambridgelike Eton messes to drag us down that hole.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The government of Bermuda already employs statistians that collect and release data regarding Bermuda&#039;s interests. This inquiry should also meet PATI criteria. In the interest of safety and reputable journalism, they should provide data regarding why this is necessary and who&#039;s standards they are actually following. Seems prioritizing of the Bermudian&#039;s needs is warranted here as is fiscal responsibility. There were no reported sharp increases in fires to warrant this overexpenditure of foreign firefighter contracts...are they planning to start fires to further displace Bermudians?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bermuda has been majority black for most of its existence. However, with a name like Tucker surely you understand how minority whites have had far too much control. It is their same bigoted attitudes that undermine black initiatives through obvious sabotage most Bermudians don&#039;t speak up about for fear of retaliation. Tucker...what became of the Tucker&#039;s Town land grabs? Just more noise that never helped blacks. But you would know about that now wouldn&#039;t you Tucker...land votes, business votes, property value. Who owns what? What black Bermudian will they boycott next...We real, true black Bermudians should be very worried about the comings and goings of white and black foreigners with disguised interests.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You pose some very good questions, Ms Oliver. Perhaps you can ask the Minister responsible for the airport. 

The one thing I would say is that the extra firefighters were required to keep up with Bermuda&#039;s international obligations. Why Bermuda was not prepared for that eventuality is another question you might want to ask.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exactly how many fires have occurred in Bermuda to warrant this influx of foreign fire fighters that have taken up contracts, free housing and stipends that have displaced black Bermudians. How are regular black Bermudian firefighters training on &#039;aircraft rescue?&#039; Are the firefighters fully fledged pilots now. Where are these &#039;necessary&#039; fire planes...&#039;down de airport?&#039; Trained up in 6 whole weeks? I doubt it. Must be an RAF op. So the scenario is a CONCRETE house on fire and an airplane will come from the UK to douse the fire? Why not just put some fire extinguishers on sale at Gorhams, have some of our own firefighters do &#039;stop, drop and roll&#039; campaigns in schools and save black Bermudians the drama of the UK&#039;s meddling mess. Next, they will be awarding &#039;other&#039; badges like Curley. Look out, tarps disguised as PPE for hurricane season dispensed by the Royal Navy in Hamilton Harbor. Lord knows Bermudians can&#039;t get through a &#039;lil blow&#039; without their help.  Who&#039;s on Harbor radio these days? Viking or Capital FM?]]></description>
