I'd be pissed as hell if a firefighter (I appreciate what you guys do I honestly, really do.) told me he didn't give a f*** if he used an axe on my truck. I see where his anger and frustration comes from. Welcome to the board from Stl Mo btw bro lol
A firefighter's mission is to protect life and property, in that order. There's nothing in that truck worth a firefighter's life, and if opening it with a pry bar or an axe or even a rescue saw is the fastest and safest way to get to the fire, so be it.

I agree with other who say the OP owes the firefighters an apology and a thank-you.
