That we have the best freaking job?? I mean think about it: we get to jump into huge trucks, red lights flashing, sirens blarring, most people wave at us, even in our POV's, we're first due at almost any type of emergency inside our country's borders, all the little kids want to be like us when they grow up, everyone loves the trucks in the parades, we sacrifice to work and train, we support each other we're one big family of brothers and sisters no one understands a firefighter like a fellow firefighter, we get to play with the best toys, the coolest looking uniforms, we're in a position to see so many miracles, we're not normal; people run out while we're running in. There's nothing like the smell of the bay, the roar of the ideling engines. It takes a special person to be a firefighter. We are firefighters by the grace of God.
Just some perspective from a still starry eyed firefighter.
