An important message from our Brothers at Millburn FMBA L32!!Remember ~ when you change your clocks ~ change your batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors!🚨
Be sure to test them, and it is also a great idea to have a fire drill in the home. Make sure that everyone hears the alarm and knows what to do and where to go. Have a meeting place out in front of your home so that everyone knows where it is! ... See MoreSee Less

I will put this video that showed up on my YouTube. The post about Captain Ringering dying while fighting a fire is too old already and no one will see this video if I find it there. youtu.be/mYpTCsucI80

My previous comments on other posts in this Facebook accounts apply and demonstrate that I was right. Firefighting, policing and soldiering are in categories of their own. Granted that soldiering is slightly different. It is not often a career choice but they share some characteristics. Civilians are safe and warm because firefighters and police officers step up when needed, place their life and health at risk to keep that of civilians safe and warm. Imagine their families living not knowing if they are ok on the job. It takes special qualities to choose a life of firefighting, policing and to a lesser extend that of career military involved in conflicts. I am objective and factual in my approach to everything. It’s my personality and my natural bend. I think that we should see people categories factually as a community.

Oh no that's awful but at least he died in the duty

rest in gods peace forever brother. my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. and to his fellow firefighters

Rest easy brother. May God bless his family and FD family. 🙏

😢

RIP Brother!

RIP. 🙏🏻

www.tapinto.net/towns/soma/sections/police-and-fire/articles/maplewood-fire-department-presents-2... This article was in my mailbox this morning. The town community members should read it. It provides a glimpse of the life of the members of the department on a day to day basis. It is not like getting up at dawn because you want to find a parking spot near the train station and facing an unpredictable crowded commute time to the place of work hoping that the wind does not destroy your umbrella.

Amazing!!!! I try to think the psychology that is in play. When it comes to first responders, often they selflessly sacrifice their health or even life in order to help others. A classic example well known to most is that of the first responders on September 11, 2001. Many are paying the price physically and maybe some stress syndrome.

First responders do not see themselves as hero’s. They may think that some in their team go beyond the call of duty, beyond an already very high threshold. It is more like a mission, a duty, a reason for being. The only comparison I can find to express it to the general population is in sports where athletes push themselves to their max.
