Many fire fighters would agree with you there, except the screenwriter of the movie as he was a former Chicago FF.

This movie was back before 9/11, at the time, much like the Navy and other known government services, firefighters were never taken seriously. Hell that was one of the themes of the movie as well. Had it been shown in theaters post 9/11 it woulda grossed 10 times more than it did back in the 90s.
