Have you read this?
Talk about real life being crazier than fiction. Talk about your number being up. Talk about totally being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I am so thankful in my own selfish way that it was not a call that I had to respond to. I do not need any more memories.
For those of you who think that firefighters are overpaid and do nothing but eat and sleep on the job, try imagining what it would be like having to work through that call.... one might be the utmost of professionals during this response but after the adrenaline wears off images like that stay with you for the rest of your life.... I cannot even fathom how the husband is going to cope after this. I know his physical wounds will heal... I pray the emotional ones will too, but somehow, I am not so sure about that.
About Me
- firemama
- I am a professional firefighter in a busy metropolitan city who somehow made it to Acting Captain along the way. I am a mother and doing the best I can to balance these two very different worlds. I am a lover of red meat (cooked medium rare) and live in a funky loft with my 2 very loud and loveable kids. We manage to all get along despite the fact we only have one bathroom and zero privacy. I am a demon if I don't get in a daily workout or get out for some fresh air. I am a neat freak. My kids, of course, are not. I prefer shooting with my 35mm Nikon to any fancy digital camera out there.... only because I am hopelessly analog. My favourite sound in the world is hearing my children laugh. My second favourite sound in the world is silence. This is my blog on what it's like to be a chick in a man's world, a mother in these crazy times, and a woman who perhaps foolishly thinks she has found the meaning of life.
