2. An Fire Fighter Protects the public by responding to fires and other emergencies. They are the first to arrive on the scene of an accident. “When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work.” ~Edward F. Croker I selected this quote because I feel many people don’t become firefighters because they love to help others. Growing up as a child in Detroit you experience a lot of things a child shouldn’t. I have seen houses get burnt down day and night. Families where homeless and some even lost family. I believe me becoming a fireman is the best thing for me and others. Helping people that are down and stress satisfy my day. I will be researching the life of a fireman. I will give specific details about Firefighters careers. Let everyone know how awesome Firemen are !
