Firefighter criticised for unprofessional conduct in fire incident (video)
A rescue worker has come under criticism for demonstrating power and being unprofessional by stepping on and kicking a junior firefighter while responding to a fire.
The incident was brought to light when a Twitter user named Red Skull posted a video of the event online. The behaviour, deemed inappropriate, especially in front of locals, sparked widespread online criticism.
“So arrogant. Stepping and kicking a junior in front of a fire. Don’t know if it’s not satisfying or what, but you should talk after finishing the job, not show off in front of the villagers.”
The post garnered a lot of attention, with many netizens expressing their disapproval and some even sharing the personal Facebook account of the firefighter. The incident has highlighted the need for professionalism in the line of duty, even in high-stakes situations like firefighting, reported KhaoSod.
The incident, which took place in the Siam Buri district of Nang Rong, sheds light on an underlying issue of power dynamics within firefighter rescue teams. It underscores the importance of maintaining some professional decorum, even in high-pressure situations, and treating all team members with respect. The online community’s response to the incident indicates a collective disapproval of such behaviour and a call for accountability.
