Ha ha, the trolls try and take over another good thread! 
I am currently a VOLUNTEER Ambulance Driver in Texas, and have just started classes to qualify as an Emergency Medical Technician.
A top qualified, long serving paramedic here will be lucky to be on more than $60,000. They work either 12 or 24 hour shifts, and there are days you don't actually get to go to the station. It is not a job you can do for material gains. When I start getting paid as an EMT next year, I shall be on a whopping $8 an hour! COUNT IT!
KER-CHING!
There is a huge level of enjoyment, satisfaction and reward from helping people, so it is not a thankless task, however, the vast majority of the population don't realise what we / they do, otherwise THEY WOULD GET THE F C U K OUT OF MY WAY WHEN I AM RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY WITH LIGHTS AND SIRENS ON!!!!!
In the several months I have been volunteering, I have helped to save at least 8 people who were very close to death. I have seen two people die, and I have seen two dead bodies, one minus a head. I have also been to help dozens of old people who have slipped or fallen over, I've been to crime scenes, abused people, and drug raids, I've been to nursing homes, car wrecks, house fires and a gang fight. Most people don't even bother to thank you when you help them, which amazes me, but the feeling of kowing you really have made a difference to someones life, whether they know it or not, is second to none!
I do love the job, which is why I get up at 5am for free! There will always be people who don't appreciate or recognise the sacrifice people in emergency services make, but these are the people who are ignorant enough to not look at the bigger picture, and lucky enough not to have needed EMS or FIRE for themselves or loved ones.
Also, I think a great punishment for drink drivers would be to make them ride along with the police or an ambulance crew for the night!!!

The fact is, there will be a time when that fireman, or at least a fireman in that disctrict, will have to put himself at risk to save someones life and the vast majority of people (and trolls) would not be able to overcome their instincts of self-preservation to do that......

In fact, I don't even know why I am giving you the pleasure of a response as I know you are just a sad, lonely wind-up merchant, the most important thing you've probably ever done is open another scoobynet account so you can rub your ***** whilst arguing with yourself! You're pathetic!

He would like to tell you he messes around all day with missiles working for the MOD, but in reality the only missile he gets near plugs into the wall and goes up his ****!

And then we come to the Firemen, bloody useless in my experience ..... my wife was trapped under a fallen tree in her car a couple of years ago - Fire Services arrived and blocked the road - then they farted about not knowing what to do - I had arrived at the scene at this point and took control as they were clearly way out of their depth it was pathetic! I, and another member of the public, told them what to do
i would imagine getting the black guys **** from out of her mouth was a tricky operation which hampered their rescue efforts

Some of the posts in the thread from the likes of Mr lewis & co make a complete mockery of the hundreds of firefighters that died when the twin towers collapsed on 9/11. It doesn't Matter whether theses guys spend most of their time sitting around waiting for the next call out or not, In my book If anyone of these people help to save just one life whilst risking their own then they are worth every penny/cent that they are paid.

Interesting thread. I take it Mr Lewis doesn't like firefighters then.
I get paid £22.5k per year for (amongst other things) having people try to hit me, people swearing at me, getting blood/vomit/faeces on my uniform, wiping *****/noses/mouths, telling relatives that someone has died, intubating and cannulating and giving drugs to someone while reassuring their relatives and trying to work out how the hell I am going to get the patient down 3 floors and into my vehicle, carrying 18 stone people covered in varying body fluids down stairs, doing CPR on babies with the parents watching...
I work 12 hour day and night shifts, most of which is spent off station risking my life, my crew mates life and the lives of anyone else who is out on the road by driving with lights and sirens.
I get a decent amount of holidays, I work with some fantastic people (in our service and police/fire and at the hospitals) and I love my job.
I don't expect people to give me admiration but a thank you every once in a while goes a very long way. And we get very few.
And I meet more people like Mr Lewis than you would think. It gets very easy to spot an idiot on the wind up.

Would you like to thank all those who work on defending this country through their intellect and skill??
Maybe a thank you for the care worker who, at this moment is wiping **** off someones **** FOR HALF your pay!?
Could we extend a massive thank you to Teaching Assistants who work the same hours as teachers but get paid £8000 - these people take care of the most challenging children so that teachers can teach the rest.
How about the sewage workers walking about in **** and the rest making sure that we can all use the loo safely?
PLENTY of people deserve praise and a thank you .... it's just you hear the Emergency Services crying that they don't get enough!!
When EVERYONE praises them!!They are too full of their own importance - and thats the painful truth ... I have the ***** to say it!

Sorry but the Care workers you keep going on about.....
Do they put their lives at risk for others??? nope I dont think so!!!!!!
I have a great deal of respect for the people who do that, but they usually do that due to a lower interlect and they arent able to do something better.....

I have got 6 Reds and 7 Greens due to my stance on this - which isn't very good ... would have expected about 10 FOR and 3 AGAINST.
