[Margaret Pilkington]

The people like firefighter do the job because they are very special people...but they also like to have an element of adrenaline in their lives......they often get as much out of it as they put into it.
I know this to be true because having been a nurse for almost 30 years...although each day was similar, there was always an element of not knowing what emergency you were going to be asked to deal with next...and this makes the work stimulating.
Sad at times, but stimulating...and there are always the times when these people will make a difference to the outcome of an event which might have tragic consequences.
