Bill Coupe on Emergency Services

Bill over at Code, Code World has a good post about his thoughts on people involved in emergency services. It is well worth the couple of minutes it will take to read it.

It’s rarely about ‘the money’ with these folks; they certainly aren’t going to be “livin’ large” on what they find in their paychecks. Instead they’ve chosen to take a different path than most of us would, or could. To put caring for, and protecting, the lives, needs and property of others, in front of nearly everything else, including their own well being.

Thanks for the link my friend, I just call 'em like I see 'em is all.

You know in my heart, I'm still a firefighter, always will be, just don't have the opportunity to volunteer where I am now.
