Dallas officials are rethinking a federal request for firefighters to help in the Hurricane Katrina effort after reports that some rescue workers were asked to hand out fliers for the federal disaster agency.

"We need to be perfectly clear on exactly what's expected," said Assistant City Manager Charles Daniels, who oversees the fire department. "Sending highly trained individuals to pass out fliers is not a good idea. "


"People have to run the Pentagon, and people have to go to Iraq," he said. "Not every job is a glamour job, but every job is important."

Some firefighters brought loads of equipment to Atlanta, in anticipation of at least assisting some of FEMA's elite urban search-and-rescue task forces along the Gulf Coast. "On the news every night you hear, "How come everybody forgot us?' " said Joseph Manning, a firefighter from Washington, Pa. "We didn't forget. We're stuck in Atlanta drinking beer."
