Firemen, Cops, EMS may also carry the terrible memories of what they saw for the rest of their lives.
For some, it's not the first time they've seen something like that. And for most, it won't be the last.
They better get used to seeing it.
This idea of having psychologist visiting firehouses after such a thing only weakens the reserve of those in the job. The idea of having a cadre of workers, like cops, EMS, and firemen, to handle these things is that, from the experience and training (and also being caught up in the bureaucracy of the incident), they are able to put aside personal "feelings" about the incident and make sure things get done.
If they can't do it without outside "help," and need a "crutch," maybe they're in the wrong employ. These jobs are are not for the faint of heart.
