All of us have heard it. All emergency personell are accussed of it. Some people truely believe that the only reason we join the fire dept, ems or even police is so we can feel powerful and for the almighty lights and sirens.

Recently, I heard a person accusing my fire department of this idiotic idea. Although I did not say anthing because I knew I would loose my temper and make the department look bad, I couldnt help but let it anger me. How could people even come up with this idea?…
