Firefighter does not only sit on their asses

How many of you do you think firefighters does nothing but sit on their asses and do nothing.Well I would like to clear that up. I am a firefighter. I don't just sit on my up and  do nothing. there are times that we do nothing but there are times that we don't have a chance to sit down and do nothing. We are not able to know if we will have nothing to do. There are people that would just say we are lazy and does not care about the people who we have to protect but that is not true. We care about the community we care about everyone and will do your very best to protect and serve our county or if we are called apone out country. In greenup county there were about 50-100 firefighter to stop what they were doing to drove to ground zero to help fight fires or help in a search and rescue. Every time September 11 comes to any firefighters head they always remembers 343 fellow brothers and sisters that gave their lives to try to save someone. With firefighters we don't think of our self before we act or before we go into a fire we think of the people who might be trapped inside. We think what they might be thinking and it could be that they could be taking their last breath or wishing that they had someone to get them out of the stop they are in. Well firefighter are not lazy because if you remember every firefighter all over New York responded to the site when the planes it the twin towers and more than half of them lost their life's to try to keep and get everyone out so they could see their parents, their wife, their husband, or their children. People realize that we don't sit on asses every time we will go out to help an older person get their pet out of a hole or a tree. People think we just waste their tax money by driving around when we are not on a fire call just to show off out trucks but that is not true. There are times we get a call and we will not have our lights and sirens on. There are times we will turn them on when we are just going slow because the danger level might have increased or a fire or something has started or happened. We were found or created to help protect and serve out community or country and that is what we are going to do. If you want to bash or downgrade firefighter come to a scene and watch how we work. Watch whats happens when a fellow brother or sister dies in the line of duty. We dont just use the peoples tax money for gas we use it to buy equipment we need to help get people out of a car or out of a house fire. What would you say if you are the next people we will have to save would you still believe that we are just wasting your tax money on nothing. And do you still believe we just sit on our asses and do nothing. Well just wait and see if you are the next one to saved by me and my fellow brothers and sisters.
