Stress is part of the job. The urgency of rescue creates pressure. As a retired Firefighter I remember many stressful times. My worst time was at the fire where my son Joe got burned. The only thing that got us through that time were other Firefighters who were with us everyday. Today I posted an article about Joe and pictures that chronicled his recovery from his injuries. It may not be related to what rope rescue guys do but I know you can identify with the stress of making a rescue. Go to my website www.rjhaig.com click the Fire talk button
