Four Houston firefighters die fighting blaze

I have always felt that firefighters and police were among the bravest individuals on earth. Knowing every call they make could be their last. I can't imagine being in this line of work. God bless their families.

Everyone wants to grow up and be a cop or a fireman. That is until you see enough flames to engulf a warehouse, and think "no way in hell I'm running in there". Or see a shootout/stabbing, and realize like you said, that you may not go home that evening. An honorable job with many, many heroes that rarely get the deserved credit.
