I love my job and rarely complain but the other night was over the top. A fire came in at 1am, we pulled up to a 3 block long warehouse with smoke everywhere. It didn't take long to turn into a 4 alarm fire. It was pretty wild, things exploding, big fireballs blowing through the roof, walls collapsing. We were there 7 hours (shift change). It took 30 hours to finally put the thing out.
I was wet, soot covered, sore and exhausted but I would never trade this job for an office.
