Regarding source:

Take with the grain for salt you would apply to any AI, but this appears to me to be a reputable source:

"Canadian Firefighter" (cdnfirefighter.com) is a legitimate trade publication and news source for the Canadian fire services community. It is the official magazine of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC).
