What
is a Fireman? (author
unknown)
He is the guy next
door.
He's a man's man with the sharp memory of a little boy who never got over
the excitement of engines and sirens and smoke and danger.
He's a guy like you and me with warts and worries and unfulfilled dreams.
Yet he stands taller than most of us.
He's a fireman.
He puts it all on the line when the bell rings.
A fireman is at once the most fortunate and the least fortunate of men.
He's a man who savors life because he has seen too much death. He's a
gentle man because he has seen too much of the awesome power of violent
forces out of control. He's a man responsive to a child's laughter because
his arms have held too many small bodies that will never laugh again.
He's a man who appreciates the simple pleasures of life... hot coffee
held in numbed unbending fingers... the flush of fresh air pumping through
smoke and fire convulsed lungs... warm bed for bone and muscle compelled
beyond feeling... the camaraderie of brave men... the divine peace of
selfless service and a job well done in the name of all men.
He doesn't wear buttons or wave flags or shout obscenities and when he
marches, it is to honor a fallen comrade.
He doesn't preach the brotherhood of men.
He lives it. |
