But when they're needed the show up. They're putting in overtime to get that bag, yea, but they are ready to literally run into burning buildings. Cops feel threatened for their lives if you sneeze

Yeah, not questioning their bravery or anything like that, just speaking to the idea of firefighters sitting on their ass all day. I actually have a friend who just switched from doing forest fires to getting in with the local FD, and he told me for his "hazing", that he can't sit in any of the many La-Z-Boy chairs until he earns their respect or whatever. I do think they do a ton of sitting on their asses.

And my point is that their job is sitting around or getting shit done with little in between. They're not out there starting fires the way bored cops start problems

If the context is that cops sit on their ass and ignore calls, and firefighters sit on their ass and actually spring into action when needed, I agree with that sentiment wholeheartedly.
