The 1-day training class called "Fire Ops 101" for nonfirefighters was hosted by Fairfax County (Virginia) firefighters at their training academy. The union's staffers were deemed "recruits for a day" as they were subjected to the physical challenges faced by firefighter recruits, including wearing firefighter outfits, carrying hoses, entering a building through high windows, and controlling a fire inside a blockhouse while flames leaped across a ceiling. The IAFF's General President Harold A. Schaitberger was present for the event. In an interview for this article, he stated that two-thirds of the fire departments in the United States are understaffed, with approximately 40 percent of the unionized departments having just two firefighters to a truck; the standard set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is four. Schaitberger and the IAFF have been highly critical of the Bush administration for cuts in first-responder grants, including firefighters, although representatives of the Bush administration deny that this is the case. Schaitberger claims that although the Bush administration touts homeland security as a Federal responsibility, it has taken the position that firefighting is a local issue. In addition to lack of funding for staff and resources, resource accessibility is also a problem. Hazmat equipment and other equipment is typically backordered, with long delays between an order and the receipt of the equipment.
