Firefighters

a mental condition, (Piotrowski, 2005). However, if the test gives a false negative, the person can pass with an unnoticed condition and not receive proper treatment. f. Using a test of physical ability to select firefighters  it is preferable a false negative. To become a firefighter, a candidate has to pass many criterions. The candidate who aspires to this profession should have another set of skills and knowledge that would also be tested. At the academy, the candidate will have the chance…

brave, courageous, heros. He creates a hopeful tone in order to convey to his readers that these were not common firemen. Burke begins his piece by illustrating this bright light as the brave firemen. “In our darkest hour, they gave us hope--the firefighters of September 11”. The first sentence helped Burke in order to achieve his purpose. The effect it had on me was there's lots of chaos going on and these guys roll up calm cool and collective to help order the situation. Burke moves the next…

Phil Hardberger with handling the ongoing problems with the fire department equipment. She pursued the issue working to get new gear into the firefighter’s hands and ensure the safety of firefighters was made a top priority (Davila, 2005). Through this interaction, Sculley worked to ensure the city, the firefighters, and city council that she wasn’t afraid to shake things up and stand up for the city. From the beginning of her role as city manager Sculley’s determination to shake things up was…

The man in the red bandana It was 9:12 when the south tower was hit. I am John Reynolds a survivor from 9-11. Once the plane hit, smoke was everywhere around me. A piece of glass hit my leg, it started to bleed badly. I tried to tie something on it to slow the bleeding. I could barely see my hands and leg in front of me. Everything was going black, and at first a thought that it was the smoke in the air. It just kept getting darker and darker, then i realized that I was losing my conscious and…

I Choice the TV shows America’s Got Talent and Chicago Fire because they are definitely not like each other. First of all, Chicago Fire is a show about the firefighters, rescue squad members and paramedics of Chicago firehouse 51. America’s Got Talent is a talent show that Auditions people from all across the country, to find performers and groups of all kinds. These two shows are on my list because first of all, I love America’s Got Talent because there is always something new that you will…

Despite the fact that I am just emerging into the medical field and at the beginning stages my career as a firefighter/ paramedic I have had the opportunity to develop personal views on community based paramedicine through research and talking with fellow professionals in this field. I truly see both positive and negative points in community based paramedicine. I feel like after reading these articles and talking with paramedic that work in different parts of the metroplex that I have gained a…

Beatty was manipulating, conniving, and preposterous. When Montag started talking about what it was like before firemen actually burned down houses, Beatty tried, metaphorically, stomping and burning Montags assumptions about what firefighters were actually about. “Once upon a time! What kind of talk is that?”(Bradbury 64) And nowadays the same thing happens, not in exactly the same circumstances, but people like Beatty are alive today and destroying the youth. I honestly think the…

A museum would be best for a memorial on the 9/11 site, so people could learn about it and become educated on what happened. The memorial site should also have statues and engravings of names of people who died during 9/11 and to also honor the firefighters and police officers that sacrificed their lives to save other people. Before researching and analyzing information about 9/11 I didn’t know much about it. I only knew the surface information which was that terrorists hit the twin towers and…

A Hero has no specific shape or size. There is no blue print, no design pattern, or even a book for a hero to follow. A Hero is just an ordinary person who does an extraordinary task.

Debi Mazar defines a hero as, "Somebody who is selfless, who is generous in spirit, who just tries to give back as much as possible and help people. A hero to me is someone who saves people and who really…
