Unfortunate but, it is one of the most dangerous professions on the planet.

God speed to your fallen brothers.

Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for another.

They saved all of the residents on the upper floors. Earning my utmost respect.

I've always said that Firemen don't get paid enough for what they do.

I concur. Soldiers get combat pay. Firefighters should get combat pay too.
A substantial something extra in the pay envelope for every fire they respond to.

That includes the ones who put out the fires on USS MIAMI, one of our LA-class subs so heavily damaged in an arson fire set by an angry yardbird, that she will be scrapped. The Navy officially decommissioned her yesterday. She was originally launched in 1990 and over 100 firefighters fought to save her. Damn. It is a different Navy than in older times...
