What firefighters and people in our military and cops do is separate from what the rest of us do; basically these people say, 'I'm going to protect all these strangers.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Firefighters are essential to the safety and security of our local communities. We owe it to these men and women to provide them with better training and equipment so they can do their jobs more effectively and safely.
I'm so proud of Maryland's firefighters, risking their lives to protect others, but we need to protect our protectors with the best equipment training and resources.
Our firefighters are our last line of defense, baby.
We are protecting civilians. We are unarmed. We are no threat to you. Please do not shoot.
Police officers and firemen are so visible in their daily work, there's no mistaking they're there - and that presence makes people feel secure.
With better gear, firefighters no longer surround and drown a fire - they go in.
Firefighters are indispensable foot soldiers here at home.
Those who purify your water, inspect your meat, and test your kids' toys, as well as a huge number of nurses, teachers, and our soldiers, are public employees. The firefighters who don't hesitate to rush toward danger while you run away from it - they are all public employees.
One thing that's great about firefighters: If they don't have the equipment they desperately need, they don't have the help, they don't care. They'll do it on their own.
Firefighters go where they're needed, sometimes ignoring the dangers even when no one is inside a burning building to be saved.
