In firefighting there are many things to learn especially when death is involved.

for your own sanity remember this

"You did not cause the fire or accident, you did not put that person in this situation all you can do is what you can do"

Point being, no matter how bad the situation is before you get there, it's always better once you are there..

and

In no other situation, no other career will you show up at someone's house and a woman will run out of the house and hand you her child as she runs back in, she doesn't know you from adam, but she's glad you are there and knows she can trust you..

Besides, everyone hates the cops but love the firefighter..

Good times.. congrats on the 1st call, I live in a city of 22k people we do 55=65 on average calls a month, with 12 real fires this year, it's been a crazy year, the rest are down power lines, gas alarms, CO alarms, 1 baby delivery, heart attacks (most between 6am and 8am) and recently a lot of heat strokes..

Just remember what i said above and you'll be ok.. wait til you have to go to an Echo medical and it's a teen kid that's hung them self.. not good for anyone.

Thanks for your service..

I'm still just a newb and I know there is so much I need to learn, I'm going to work the fire side a while and then move to the medics. Right now I'm just the gopher, I can administer cpr and first aid, and that's about all.
Thank you to the rest of you. For the heads up on what to expect. And for your service as well.

Definitely, from my first day at the station, it felt like a family. They always ask about my family, how I am, and happy to help with any questions I have

I sorted through a bunch of dead bodies one time. First, everything I smelled reminded me of the dead body - shampoo, smoked almonds and all thai food. Then it got to where it was just bad stuff like trash or sewage that triggered that smell. Now, 7 yrs later, it is just something rotten, like bad meat or a dead animal. But I still smell it - will never forget.

The bathtub scene sounds just about as bad as anything I could imagine. FUCK.

Why?

the worst part is its an oily sootiness...burning bodies
its gets all up in your sinuses and literally takes a couple of days to go away

3rd degree burns to 90% of their bodies...and a pulseless child after being xported?? its probable none of them made it
I only hope they all perished quickly before infection got them

We got the parents intubated right away and I even got two 14g iv's in each feet of both of them. They're ABC's were stable when we transferred them but no way will they make it past a few weeks. The mother especially had terrible facial burns, no real nose and hair completely melted to her head. The child was not able to brought back unfortunately.

 

[pdaddyII]

did any of them make it?

There was a 12 year old son that was able to escape unharmed. Talk about being scarred for life, holy fuck does he have a tough road ahead of him

Last week our ER got three victims of a house fire. The parents had 3rd degree burns to 80% of their bodies and their 10yr old daughter came in without a pulse. You never forget the smell of burning flesh

Jesus fuck!
Way to kill the mood romeo,
I just kicked my ol'lady in the stomach and flushed all her contacts down the toilet!
Fuck im pissed!

Scarred seems like an understatement. Hopefully he's got family that's close and he doesn't end up in the system.
