I am one of those firefighters who have seen some horrific scenes, and I
tell you, it would take a real cold-hearted prick to not feel something when a scene has gotten bad as listed below. Most firefighters are caring human beings, who are doing the job because they love the type of work and care about their fellow man. After all, with the risk, and lack of pay that they possibly could earn in other jobs, why else would they do that type of work? If a firefighter is ecstatic after a scene when well, that is because the rush of doing what they do has not been dampened by a fatality or drastic loss. I am man enough to admit that there has been a couple of scenes that afterward, later that evening I actually cried a bit. The worst calls to go on is where a kid is lost! That really gets to a person! -- Ryan, KC8PMX FF1-FF2-MFR-(pending NREMT-B!) --. --- -.. ... .- -. --. . .-.. ... .- .-. . ..-. .. .-. . ..-. ... --. .... - . .-. ... "Clifton T.

No, of course not. They behaved as most humans would. But I wasn't talking about how people behave in their jobs or how well they perform them. What I was describing is one of the primary reasons why people seek dangerous jobs. For glory. |
