A usually mobile apparatus for directing an extinguishing agent upon fires.
They are beautiful symbols of unselfish love. They represent humanity at its best. They are pro-life in a dramatic way. Fire fighters devote their lives to helping other people–often total strangers. When a call comes, they drop everything and race to the emergency–whether it is a house on fire, a bomb explosion, a skyscraper ablaze, or a forest in flames. Once at the scene, they go about their work with consummate energy and skill. They never ask the people they are helping, “What will you give me if I help you?” They never ask, “Are you Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or atheist?” Or “Whom did you vote for in the last election.” No, they just help–no questions asked. That’s unselfishness at its best.
Fire fighters remind us all just how precious human life is. They do this by putting themselves in harm’s way in an effort to protect and save life. When they get a call they don’t say, “Chances are, there aren’t any survivors, so we don’t have to rush.” No they give the benefit of the doubt to life and race to the scene. As long as life might be there, they go into action to preserve it. All rescue workers do this. Take the Coast Guard. These men and women venture out into terrible storms to rescue people at sea. Once again, they give life the benefit of the doubt, sometimes searching for days. This attitude speaks volumes to me about the sanctity of every human life.
