I think the point that prosay was trying to say was that as first responders, jobs like this fire basically come with the territory. You are part of a team and your teammates depend on you to be 100% operating on all cylinders both physically and emotionally. If you are at the point where the emotional toll of these calls is too much to handle (and i am not saying anything negative about anyone who experiences this), then at that instant you are a liability. You are a liability to your teammates who depend on you, you are a liability to the public that seeks your aid, and you are a liability to youself.
It is incumbent upon you to recognize as a professional if youre still able to do your job. And if you cannot handle the emotional aspects of these calls, there is absolutely no shame in stepping aside because of that.

I'm not so sure this is 100 percent correct. I've been in a few situations where my adrenaline had kicked in and took over everything I had to do. Once it was over and I realized what was going on it sucked and I was a mental mess. I don't have training like all of you do on here but I know what it's like to have pure instinct kick in.

I think everyone is haunted about something and if you aren't then I think you are incapable of human decency and you could probably be the person that could hurt others and be just like the people who caused the crap you guys have to clean up and solve.

If he feels this way about the fire fighters and or the cops then I can only imagine the hatred he has against our military personnel who come home messed up from war.

I see your point and i agree with it. If you allow your emotions to get in the way of how you handle a job then thats not good and at the same time if your not able to feel human emotion then thats a major problem as well. My point was that anyone that gets too swallowed up from all the death and destruction they see should have the clarity to step aside and there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying " i cant do this anymore". However more often than not some guys unfortunately do let it get the best of them and they feel theure is no one to listen to so they sometomes resort to other avemues to alleviate these feelings thats when things get out of hand.
