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.
How cold and bitter.
In the county o just moved from there is only one paid fire fighter on the books. Everyone else is a volunteer. My capt friend found 2 two children in a house fire and he's never been the same. He eventually stepped down from being the capt and he did his job as a volunteer on his own free will. You should he ashamed of yourself for being so cold.
Just because someone is being paid to do a job doesn't mean they aren't human. Everyone has that moment that can break you and haunt you. I hope none of the people I know ever turns out like you.
