Not wanting to eat his vegan patty because it touched actual meat on the grill is fine
Expecting there to be a separate grill to cook vegan meals on a fire line is not.

They should have just send him home "sorry, we cannot accommodate your dietary needs as this is an emergency situation. You can choose to stay and deal with the situation as it is or we can send you home".
Also, I guess he never ever WD40's anything on this chain saw, water pumps, water hose connections...
This guy can pound sand. I can respect his decision to be a vegan, it's not easy, but to be up in arms because he wasn't fed correctly during an emergency situation where it's impossible to have everything under the sun... Quote:

It also needs to be brought up that this is a camp situation feeding 1000 front line firefighters as well as 3-4x that number in support. This isn't a fancy downtown vancouver restaurant serving his table of 2. They mass produce high calorie food in as efficient of a way as possible to feed people fast. If this dingle nuts kept 1000 people waiting on their dinner after a 16 hour shift while the cook specially prepared his vegan patty, they would tie him to a tree.

Shit, how did I miss that whole vegan patty touching the regular patty thing...
Man, come on. They're trying their best bro.
I wanted to support him too. Not as much anymore.

Damn he is entitled much? He was being fed , although maybe not to his liking. When you work those jobs you burn through tons of calories. It just proves his vegan diet is not sustainable for that type of job.

I can tell you right now coming from a remote location work history, we work anywhere from 2-6 weeks straight (no weekends), working 10-16 hour days every day. If any employee did half the things this guy did they would have been turfed immediately. We fire people immediately for disrespect of service staff.
Keep in mind I'm talking about an industry with people who are millwrights, ironworkers, welders, pipefitters. AKA tradespeople, some of these guys are the roughest people you will ever meet, they come from all walks of life, from hillbilly rednecks, to city slickers, to patch wearing biker gang members.
And yet those guys under those conditions manage to keep their cool most of the time and not lose it on kitchen staff, cleaners, accomodations people, etc.
So I'm sorry, but no, this guy is just being a prick. Like whats next, people getting aide in natural disasters are going to file human rights complained that their sheets in the emergency shelter are from cotton picked by people who don't get paid a decent wage in sri lanka? Fuck off.
We really must be running out of things to worry about in this world, which begs the question why half of the world still lives without clean water or basic services, while this guy complains about his vegan patty being touched with a glove that also handled a beef patty?

you guys make it sound like if this happened at a high end restaurant, the complaint is more warranted
this is not the typical entitled dickwad, he's fighting a forest fire
should he not have lashed out at mess staff? of course
is it a rather cunty to making an official complaint about unfair dietary treatment? i think so
but to armchair about this from the comfort of our homes and say this guy should think about the starving children in other parts when he's on an emergency task force seems like a major disconnect
in before he's just doing his job

Armchair nothing. The very fact that he can even complain about such things shows how indulgently privileged his life is. Whether he's fighting fires or scooping gum off sidewalks, he's acting like an entitled, privileged cunt. And it's gross.
I have friends and family members who are vegetarians, and yes they are a pain in the ass when you dine with them, as are all picky eaters, but nobody I know would ever act like this... They chose to live this abnormal privileged way of eating, for whatever reason (it doesn't really matter), and they realize that they are the ones who have to deal with it, not others. And to bring it up as a human rights issue... fuck the fuck off.

This man chose to fight a remote fire across the country knowing he has strict dietary restrictions. Why not stay in his cushy firehall watching TV and cooking his own vegan food on tax payers dime.

FWIW, it doesn’t sound like he volunteered to go to this particular location. It says in this article and a few other articles that he is often deployed to other provinces to fight fires, presumably on behalf of the Ontario government.

No one is forcing him to do anything. I ask my firefighter friend why he doesnt go help fight these fires.
He says "nawwwwwt my problem" then he snaps me a selfie sleeping 8 hours for the night (if they're no calls).

The world is literally burning down around these guys. They are operating out of a fucking Tim Hortons, and this cock sucker expects to be treated differently than everybody else? Sorry Bruh but you can go fuck yourself. Expecting people to purchase and prepare food ESPECIALLY FOR HIM (food that might not be easily available) when 2-3k people get along fine and do what they have to do. "yea but he was fighting fires so he gets a pass on being a cunt" is bullshit. The only thing worse would be if he wanted a Crossfit Gym in camp as well. Dude knows exactly what camp life is like and if he was as noble as you're all saying he would eat was given him or stay the fuck home.
Berz out.

If I was vegan and I knew I'd get deployed places... I'd bring a big-ass tub of protein powder with me and call it a day.
I'd have no further expectations and I'd eat around the meat/dairy for whatever else was available.
