If you were to ask me what I find most rewarding about what I do for a living, it would be the obvious, helping people. We always get a rush when we step off the truck to hear someone shout "thank God you guys are here." It's a great sensation to feel needed and be able to provide some needed assistance to them.
If you were to ask me what I find most interesting in what I do for a living, it would be the fact that firefighting is an inspiring career in which there is "never a dull day". It’s never static. There are always things to achieve, new training and procedures to be implemented and new surprises to face. Our training and experience is always tested on a daily basis.
We attend medical assist calls, as we are trained to take care of patients, and can often get to the scene before an ambulance . We have water rescue units that help save people in trouble on rivers and lakes. We have high angle rescue teams that can rescue people from high buildings. We have hazardous materials units that take care of chemicals and materials that are dangerous. We have trench rescue units to help save people who are trapped when the ground collapses and the list goes on.
Chances are, if someone's in trouble, we're there to help them.
