RI Official: Flying American Flag From Firetrucks Makes Firefighters Look Like ISIS

[Knot Again]

Via Fox Insider:

A local official reportedly told firefighters in Rhode Island that they should not fly the American flag from their trucks.

Fred Gralinski of the Central Coventry Fire District bizarrely compared it to ISIS flying its black flag while riding around in Iraq or Syria.

“They look like a bunch of yahoos,” Gralinski said at a board meeting. “Like in the paper, like ISIS in Syria going to take over a city. I don’t think they need that big flag on the back of the truck. That’s not America to me. Those are a bunch of terrorists. So, I’m going to ask you to take the flag off that truck.”

If his house is burning down, I suspect he won't give two shits whether the firetruck has a flag on the back of it or not.

I am thinking that flying a flag off the back of a firetruck doesn't seem like a good idea from a safety and respect standpoint but not from an ISIS one.

Having run on the fire truck, I can say that firetrucks that are near fires get dirty and that fire would be filthy all the time, not to mention exhaust and such.

Maybe they could paint one on the sides of the truck or something.
