THis should shed some light on the tendancy for some people to diefy the firefighters and why some folks gobble up this glorification
The word or title Hero, is derived fron the name of the Egyptian God HERU, he is the archetype of the Christ God developed 2000 years ago
25th December - 10th Mechir - Birth of Heru (Horus), the child of Aset (Isis), Day of elevating the Great Netjret (goddess) in all her names and manifestations.
Like Mary, ISIS gave birth to Horus (HERU) while she was a virgin.
Another name used later for ISIS is ISHTAR, now known as EASTER..
Some folks never learn.

Are there any firefighters, police, army or volunteers out there embarassed by all this hero worship?
I've been involved with fires in northern BC. Most of the work was just plain hot and dirty but hardly dangerous. Evac routes are always planned. Alot of time was spent sitting on river gravel bars, waiting for aircraft/machinery/clear air/calm wind.
I made a pile of money that year. I could buy my own yellow ribbons.

The fire fighters do a good job. It's a job, they spend 90% of there time waiting for something to happen. If getting up for work every day, getting the kids off to school, bringing home a paycheck makes them heros then we are all heros.
"factoid" logging is the most dangerous job in BC.

Well I would have to say I think my hubby is a hero..( he wouldn't agree). He is one of the equipment operators out on the front line. Sitting beside a gravel bed? Obviously you weren't doing your job. I am sure my hubby would be grateful that you weren't working on this fire!!! I would hate the thought of him counting on you! Yes it IS dangerous work and I am always worried sick each time he goes out.

Alot of time was spent sitting on river gravel bars, waiting for aircraft/machinery/clear air/calm wind. I hear ya. That's the trouble with the job - There is a lot of waiting. A buddy of mine is firefighter - forestry his specialty, and he is a bundle of torched nerve endings - never called - just on call. An aquaintance asked why he wouldn't, get this, wouldn't get off his ass to help fight the fire. He was chomping at the bit to get out there - and was calling in every day - sometimes twice to see if he could get out there - no go. But there are those that should be required to pay taxes when they open their mouth - that just don't see the whole picture. Hang loose...

I think the point that I was making here is that he WAS out on the fires but was sitting on the gravel beds.. Maybe thats what the ground crews do though.. I am still thankful he wasn't working with my hubby on this one.

I think the point that I was making here is that he WAS out on the fires but was sitting on the gravel beds I think you should go back to what he wrote and re-read it. It is often times not by choice that a FF is 'sitting down' anywhere, but rather can't get to the fire, it's too dangerous - no escape route, wind conditions, terrain, crew numbers, waiting for retardent to be dropped, lines to be built, equipment to arrive, a whole host of reasons. Guaranteed - these guys don't sit down by choice - not when there is a fire to put out. Your "hubby" is a courageous man - for more reasons that I think you know.

Shiva, you need some reading lessons, I read in the above: hardly dangerous, Evac routes always planned, Hate to admit when you are wrong? Or just a hate on females that are more intelligent? geesh!
