Sometimes I wonder why someone becomes a firefighter. Everybody dreams of a job with a safe environment and which makes them happy. But firefighters don't have this. So why do they risk their life to save unknown people from death? I guess the answer might be courage.
It's obvious that the salary, even if high, isn't enough to pay for the trauma and danger that these men and women go through every day. After all, when they break through a flaming building, going in the opposite way of running-away people, they have to see many scenes that a common person wouldn't be able to stand with. The natural instinct of a human being is to flee from this kind of situation, but they have so much courageousness that for them the most important thing to do is to help someone in need. Maybe a common job wouldn't challenge them to use their particular assets.
In my personal opinion, what is the most unfair is to live in a society where actors, singers and models are called heroes while firefighters are almost never recognized for what they have to deal with every day. Clearly it's a tough job but it's one that every society needs. It would be great if the society was more grateful to these real heroes.
