what is the most satisfying aspect of your job as a firefighter/EMT?

My name is Katie and I'm a writer I currently came up with an idea for a demon slayer and after brainstorming for a while it hit me why not make my main character a firefighter as well I have drawn a lot of insperation from fire fighters and I think it is one of the most noble and honorable jobs out there right along with serving your country. If my main character is going to be a hero in a ficticious world why not in a realistic one as well? I want the part about firefighting to be as accurate and factual as possable I've had a passion for writting ever since I was six-years-old and firefighters give me a lot of inspiration I will be more than grateful for any insight or ideas you have thank you for your time and service to our country! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

He was having fun lol But the odd thing is, is his dad said he was afraid of fire trucks for some reason but he still wanted to see it.... Also the only way I could think of to describe the drop tank to him was, "it is like a swimming pool".... well that was the wrong thing to say lol from then on all he wanted us to do was fill up the swimming pool lmao

The most satisfying thing about being a firefighter to me is the fact that you are able to help someone during a difficult and most of the time a terrifying time in their life.

I think it's helping the people you live around. If they know the thing we did I think alot of them would have a diffent mind set about the fire co

also we get to ride on the big fire trucks lol

Oh, and don't forget that this job is the only place where you can still act like a little kid and not be the only one, LOL.
