I really have high regard with firemen. Unlike policemen, they are not susceptible to corruption.

I love this picture of fire fighters. They are so brave and courageous in carrying out their duties especially with the way they put their lives on the line to save others. I have a lot of respect for them.

My heart goes out to those victims. As my town always says it is better to be flooded than to be burned down. Not exactly much to go on but it is true. On that note I am giving salute to the firemen. This job is not easy but they do what they can.

Fire victims are always the worse damaged but thanks to the firemen that helps a lot to reduce casualties. This most brought back memories

These firemen risk their lives just to save other people. The should be well respected and give them the good benefit to their services.

You captured the tense situation during a fire quite perfectly in this shot. Nobody really knows how that feels to people affected by a fire, especially to the firemen scrambling to make sure everyone lives and not let the fire spread further.

One of the important people that helps others safe lives and properties at the expense of theirs. I love them.
