A 14 year old gunshot victim takes his last breath as I kneel down to treat him, a baby delivered in a putrid hallway, car crash - body parts in the bushes, heroin overdoses, heart attacks, seizures, beatings, strokes, fire, training, polishing, cleaning... Just an average 72 hours at one of the busiest firehouses in the nation. You put thoughts of family aside when you're at work, but when you are on your way home the thoughts come. The devastation to bodies, families, and property. The gratitude that your family is safe and that you are on your way home to see them.
