fire fighters have a special place in my heart.
Oh me too. I was saved from a car wreck by firemen when I was a child, and have adored them ever since. They are the true heroes of out modern world, not the cops or soldiers. They risk and give their lives purely out of a desire to help people (not laws or governments) in moments of disaster.
Think about it, when you call 911 with a medical emergency, usually it is the firemen who show up first (at least it was in Toronto). When your house is on fire, they are the ones who go into the inferno to try get you (or even your pets) out. When some deer gets it's head stuck in a fence, it is firemen who show up to deal with it. When some kid goes missing in a river, it is the firemen who show up to search the river or fire department divers who search for the body.
I adore firemen, my Fella is one (forestry, and currently in the local volunteer corps) and our most recent boyfriend was one (urban). My ex husband was one. Besides being extricated from the car, I have been saved twice more by firemen when I overdosed (once accidental, once on purpose after my daughter died). They are simply the most selfless and beautiful people ever. Their whole purpose in life is to help others, regardless of the cost to themselves.
To my mind there is no more noble person on earth than one who will willingly enter a burning building to try save somebody they do not, and never will, know.
And that is why I am happily and proudly a hose bunny.
