Are you often the hero?

Asked by Merle91 over 7 years ago

To kids we are. We didn't get into this career for that most of us got into it to help others and also the not knowing what we will do moment to moment. The thrill of saving someone or bring life into this world in the front seat of a car can be awesome. But it does have it's downsides. That being death and sorrow to pain and suffering of others and even yourself.

There was a pizza box left in my oven and I later turned on the oven to have the box burn. I never actually opened the oven and saw a fire but my apartment was filled with smoke. Is the food in my pantry and fridge safe to eat, or is it contaminated

Asked by Gray over 7 years ago

If any food is open such as bread, cookies and such I would get rid of but all sealed items no are just fine.

Scene safety includes us. If you attack a firefighter while doing his job expect 3 others to come help him. It is an arrestable offense
