Portrayed Dedication of a Fire Fighter!
Filed under: DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES, Firemen, career, firefighter
“He placed me in the area to help this boy.” This is what Lee Callaham, Assistant Chief, New England had sighed the time when he was once tested by the nature of the work he is in – Fire Fighter in profession. As what he shared in the world of fire fighters’, he was working with his landscaping field, when the fire incident happened on that same area, where he was on his job a teen boy was trapped in his on flame house and emanating heat on the area. That was a right timing for him to be there not to have another job in landscaping, but to render a severe service as a firefighter- to help people in times on fire. His presence in that area, made the incident solved immediately. To make the story short, Lee had helped and rescued the boy from the gateway of death, though the boy was really on the pick of death with the serious fire in the house of flame.
What makes this service in line with the dedication as the first pillar or edge of a Maltese Cross logo of fire fighter? It is the every service-oriented by Mr. Lee Callaham, which makes this a relevance to the field he is in. It is not easy to be in this field, because like those other professions, this also calls regardless of the time, place and incidents. The great thing in this citation or story is that, as a fire fighter, Mr. Lee portrayed the true dedication to his service and the passion of making his oath as one, to be ready to stretch out his hand to make the involved safe with all of his might and can do. He even added that the time when he saved the boy, it is not an accident or just a luck, but really a providence of God to have the boy saved. This is as well as proof of how a firefighter a prayerful and a great believer as well to the Almighty, which we all know will make him function as one accordingly.
Dedication, as one of what the fire fighters innately and obliged to live with, in the profession they have is really in great help to all of us in the community. Maltese cross is really that symbolic and that helpful to make every fire fighter we have not only New England, but of course to all through out the world.
Fire Fighter: A Profession
A profession is a vocation which is molded through specialized educational training. It is in varied forms and in various ways to attain. This might be in the easiest or hardest ways, but still, in the same way of making it rightly elevated and achievable goal to be in life. Many are in one thought of having a good career through good professional foundation. Among of those professional careers are being nurse, doctors, teachers, soldiers, policemen and the one in focus- Fire Fighter/s.
Fire fighter as a profession is on a pot of challenging field to take and that serious. Anyone in this profession must be vigilant and physically fit. On the record, it is seriously taken as a competitive field to take like that of an arm forces. People in this field are that strong, quick, and all the way initiative.

Anywhere in the world, this profession is highly regarded and always one step to death-like field. As what the book of Answering the Call book I’ve read says, every fire fighter put on their mind when they are on the field of duty, that it might be their last day or last call to death with the inevitable clashing of flames that they would encounter along the way. They are like soldiers on war, who don’t have assurance of returning back alive.
They are also viewed as heroes as those soldiers or palpable politicians in the country. Why? It is because without hesitation, they run in when all the others are running out from flames and thick smokes. It is them who make sure that from all the corner of the house/s or areas, where flames are clashing high and thickly cleared; or if there is/are people still on sight that must be save as much as possible.
Choosing this field of profession is also a call. There are really people, who could feel that it might be the calling for them to be in flame, just to feel the full blast of happiness through helping and saving people from the possible danger. It is the calling for this profession- to willingly lay their lives for the safety of number of people who are in very hazardous blazes of fire. And are fire fighters contented and happy with this risky field they choose? Yes they are, I presume! It is because; it is where they will find complete feelings in doing their job and making it done safely without any complain. And the most is, they could bring cheers and comfort to all those in need.Thus, fire fighter is vitally calling profession as well.
