Doesn't matter the profession, give them money that isn't theirs (ie taxpayer's) and watch them spend at will. Guess that firefighters need all of this stuff since they aren't paying for it themselves: "carpeting for outdoor fire camps, overtime paid for firefighters’ sightseeing time, $18 million in rental car expenses, $10 pens and pencils, and personal spending on unneeded and unnecessary digital cameras, tents and designer clothing."
