These Two Businesses Just Don't Belong Together

From Firehouse.com: The firefighters union is taking steps to stop a planned veterinary clinic, offering affordable care to residents, from operating at their Sagamore Beach fire station....The union believes there are a slew of issues regarding the plan, including fear of flea infestations in ambulances which could then be spread to people's homes, the allergies of firefighters working at the station, illnesses spread from parasites, the smell and the possible storage of animals at the facility. http://cms.firehouse.com/content/article/article.jsp?id=65811&sectionId=46
Having been a volunteer EMT and firefighter, I just can't imagine a vet clinic being set up at the local fire station for the reasons stated in the article. On top of that, being allergic to cats, I know if I worked there, I would be miserable.
What a stupid idea.
