Absolutely right on, Martin.
I guess I’ve also always thought of firefighters as heroic.
We lived near a fire station a long time ago, and whenever the sirens went off, if the fire was nearby my sisters and I would scoot out there and watch. (We lived in a residential suburb where we were lucky enough never to have a really devastating fire.) The guys were all volunteers, and I really thought that was over the top in community service. Still do!
