You are so dead fucking on to this, perfect description and this is from a retired F/F of 38 years; From the Department of They Got What They Asked For Good And Hard: The Firefighter’s Union declined to endorse a candidate in the 2024 election, which was their backdoor way of letting the kooks and crazies who become firefighters (sorry to burst your bubble about firemen, but I have known enough of them to be able to confidently say the majority are crazy right wingers - the good guys among them really are Great, but hoo boy, the rest...), and so they voted for the guy who’s as crazy as they are. And now, they’re surprised and upset, and even angry, to discover that funding for the 9/11 Health Fund was cut from the federal budget, putting future funding in jeopardy. As Menken observed: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”

I applaud your interest in firefighters and 9/11.
