its not always about line of duty deaths, or post employment cancers. it is the haunting memories. the panicked husband screaming save my wife while the kids watch stunned. its the wife staring at you after unsucessful cpr. its holding the 13 year old after you tell her you can't help daddy. the screams of pain. almost every bad call from my career is stuck in my head regardless of the counciling i received.
what did you take away from your career?
I'm no firefighter, but this was the case in my family. The vision of my father in law is etched in my brain as he was unconsolable as my mother in law was loaded into the ambulance. They tried but could not revive her.
I'd be curious to see what the life expectancy of a fireman is with all the carcinogen exposure with fires?
