Get More at COMMENTYOU.com A FIREFIGHTER'S GLOVES Firefighter's Gloves hold many things, from elderly arms to a kids broken swing, From the hands they shake and the backs they pat, to the tiny claw marks of another treed cat. At 2 am they are filled with the chrome, from the DWI who was on her way home. And the equipment they use to roll back the dash, from a family of 6 she involved in the crash. The brush rakes in Spring wear the palms out, when the wind does a "90" to fill them with doubt. The thumb of the glove wipes the sweat from the brow, of the face of a firefighter who mutters "What now"! They hold inch and three quarters flowing one seventy five, so the ones going in, come back out alive. When the regulator goes; then there isn't too much, but the bypass valve they eagerly clutch. The rescue equipment, the ropes, the C-collars; the lives that they save never measured in dollars, Are the obvious things firefighters gloves hold, or, so that is what I've been always told. But there are other things Firefighter's Gloves touch, those are the things we all need so much. They hold back the rage on that 3 am call, they hold in the fear when your lost in a hall. They hold back the pity, agony, sorrow. They hold in the desire to "Do it tomorrow". A glove is just a glove till it's on firefighter, who work all day long just to pull an all-nighter. And into the foray they charge without fear, at the sound of a "Help" they think that they hear. When firefighters' hands go into the glove, it's a firefighter who always fills it with love..

It may take you two minutes to read this, but if you do not take the time to read this you are one of the people this post is talking about.You stay up for 16 hoursHes been for 48 straight
_________________________You take a warm shower to help you wake up.The rain in the middle of the interstate keeps him awake.
__________________________You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.He's chilled to the bone, hasnt eaten all day, has the flu, and then runs into a burning building
__________________________You drink your coffee on your way to the mall.He pumps on a five years olds chest on the way to the hospital.
__________________________You make sure your cell phone is in your pocket.He makes sure the pass device on his pack is working.
__________________________You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.He watches his buddy fall through four floors.
__________________________You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.He walks down the highway looking for the motorcyclist missing limb.
_________________________You complain about how hot it is.He wears fifty pounds of gear in the middle of july and drags a body out of 1600 degree flames.
__________________________You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.He hasnt seen a meal, since last shift ate breakfast.
__________________________Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.Hes worn the same stinking, wet, grungy clothes for the past 24 hours....no time for a shower.
__________________________You go to the mall and get your hair redone.He holds the hair of some college girl while shes puking in the back of the ambo.
__________________________You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.His shift ended 2 hours ago and he on for another 24 hours at a station thirty miles away.
__________________________You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.*****He calls his girlfriend to tell her he make it back alive....then leaves abrubtly for another fire.******
__________________________You yell and scream at the engine that just past you beacuse they slowed you down.Hes in the back of the engine, going to cut somebody out of their car only to find out that their dead and their daughter is barely alive.
__________________________You roll your eyes as a baby cries.He cries as he hears his new born cry in the hospital....but he was taking a drunk teenager in when his boy was born.
__________________________You criticize your fire dept and say their never there quick enough anyways.He blows the air horn while the person in front of them refuses to move while talking on their cell phone and doing their makeup.
__________________________You hear the jokes about fallen firefighters and say they should have known better.He feels the floor give way while hes carrying an old lady from her bedroom and tosses on to the hard floor and falls into the unknown.
__________________________You see the bright lights when you go by.He sees the broken bodies lying around the car.
__________________________You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.He looks into buying a bullet proof vest because he been shot at trying to save the shooting victims life.
__________________________You stay at home and watch TV.He takes his spare time to wash the wagon, restock the ambo and maybe call his mother to tell her not to worry, he'll be home the next night
__________________________You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.He tries to sleep on his spring board bed but keeps getting woken up by the gong and bell, ahh, one hour of sleep, it should doe till tommorow night.
__________________________You sit there and judge him, saying the that its a waste of money to have them around.Garbage truck workers make more than he does, but its not for the money, its for the people who dont appreciate what he does.
