That’s pretty sad actually. It’s a job, nothing more. If you’re a new guy… sure that’s fine. But if you over romanticize it, you buy into the hype. Then you become the guy that associates who you are, with what you do for a living. That’s not healthy. Eventually you become the dude who can’t walk away when you should. Nothing sadder or more pathetic, than a guy who can retire, but has nothing better goin on in his life, because he let the job become part of his identity.

My dad has been a fire fighter for Los Angeles County for 30 years. I almost followed in his footsteps and became a certified EMT, passed the CPAT fitness test and ended up taking the LA County written exam. What’s not talked about enough is how much stress these men/women are constantly under and the toll it takes on their physical/mental health. My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer roughly 15 years into his career at the age of 41 and fought it for 2 years while continuing to work in the station. Fast forward 15 years later, he’s now 56 and just had 3 stents put in his heart in order to prevent a fatal heart attack. 2 of his arteries were 90% occluded and the 3rd was 80% occluded. It’s a miracle that the doctors found the clogged arteries before it was too late. He has been in great shape his whole career and maintained a healthy diet. Roughly 45% of fire fighter on duty deaths are heart attacks and according to the CDC, the number 1 killer of firefighters is cancer. Their life expectancy is also about 10 years less than the average person. Its a greatly respected profession and large departments pay extremely well. I understand that what firefighters are exposed to comes with the job. But I believe more attention and prevention practices should be brought to the health of firefighters and how they can potentially prevent disease and serious health problems.

I am very curious to know, if you have any experience, what is your impression on women fire fighters. This is my dream and my only worries are 2: Not if I could do it but- if a man could do it better than me meaning- would people be safer if I wasn't the one on call? And 2- I'm not worried about now when I'm under thirty, I'm more worried about when I'll want to have children, and be say 30-40 plus- do you still see women in the force at that age?

@@flvcko_senpai_3955 Oh yeah, a lot of volunteer and even some full-time departments have junior/cadet programs which allows anyone particularly above the age of 14 or 16 to join. I joined my local FD when I was 17, best decision I ever made, been doing this for 3 years now and I still love every bit!

I've taken a front seat at firefighters... fighting fires only once (thankfully) when I was about 9 or 10 and remember thinking, "Those guys are freakin cool." I dunno if it was the panic and anxiety or simply their Chad aura, but I felt a wave of relief seeing them arrive and exit the hulking red trucks to take care of the fire at our school
