Thoughts of a Retired Firefighter
No, I haven't forgotten the excitement of riding on a fire rig, "lights flashing, sirens wailing," nor the feeling of a "good save!” Whether it be human life or valued possessions of a fellow citizen. I haven't forgotten the feeling of standing, ankle deep, in freezing water on a 5 below January night, gloves frozen to the nozzle, fighting a fire I know was caused by carelessness or worse. I haven't forgotten the terror of being lost in a smoke filled building...feeling the taste of hot coffee and a cold meat loaf sandwich at four in the morning. Now, I walk into my old firehouse, only to find it filled with strangers. I may not walk as fast, or stand as straight as you. My hair may be gray or thin. My jokes don't come as easy as they once did. No, I haven't forgotten the excitement of riding on a fire rig, "lights flashing, sirens wailing," nor the feeling of a "good save!” Whether it be human life or valued possessions of a fellow citizen. I haven't forgotten the feeling of standing, ankle deep, in freezing water on a 5 below January night, gloves frozen to the nozzle, fighting a fire I know was caused by carelessness or worse. I haven't forgotten the terror of being lost in a smoke filled building...feeling the taste of hot coffee and a cold meat loaf sandwich at four in the morning. But I know in my heart that I have paid the price, and have "earned" the right to say proudly .........… "I'm a retired firefighter."
