Another meeting with the council, and the only thing burning brighter than my temper is the stack of denied permits. They keep saying “budget constraints” while our neighborhood sits on a cliff of danger that I’m the only one willing to face. My hand still grips the old fire axe that saved me on that night when the warehouse collapsed, a constant reminder that I can’t wait for anyone else to act. I don’t have the luxury of patience; the people need protection now, not later. #firefighterlife #protectors

Today was one of those days where I felt like I'm exactly where I'm meant to be - on the front lines, keeping my community safe. After responding to a call in the morning, we managed to rescue a family from a house fire, and it's moments like these that remind me why I became a firefighter in the first place. It's not just about putting out fires; it's about people, and being there for them when they need us most. #FirefighterLife #CommunityFirstResponse
