Ahead of the Fire

The pain, satisfaction, defeats, victories and emotions that make up the character traits of a Firefighter are much easier felt than described. Take a ride with a Fire Chief and see what he sees, feels, hears and comes to understand. Feel the heat as it soaks your skin, robbing you of life. Feel the pain of loss and the victory of performing the job well. Get yourself on the job by being on-scene and get a feel for what "Firefighter" really means. Become a part of the everyday events firefighters encounter and see what they see. Understand what they do and become part of a life you have never imagined.
