Proudest Fire Department Memory |
Hard to pick just one. I
can't pick any single proudest moment but rather a lot of
smaller ones add up. It's not the big fires or wrecks that I
am most proud of, It's from lots of the regular
run-of-the-mill calls like grandma having chest pain, a
neighbor smelling something funny that's probably nothing
but wanted the fire department to come check it out anyway
or many of the countless small acts we perform on a weekly
basis for people in their biggest time of need. It's the
positive impact we have on these "customers" that I feel
the most pride in myself and my fellow firefighters & EMTs. |
