All kidding aside, we all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the men and women in Fire and Emergency Medical Services. These pictures illustrate graphically something that is too easy to overlook. This is a very dangerous job and these folks save the lives of millions of victims every year. I know I speak for everyone who frequents this page when I say a very heartfelt thank you.
