Look up a crows foot wrench, it is exactly that with the rest of the handle cut off.

Probably because his skull shattered and possibly broke his neck.

"By my friends house" does not mean his back yard. It means in his town, my town has no woods. Long Island isn't known for it's vast wilderness so I did my best.
Gotta love internet people.

sisters. Even my Lieutenant, who drives me up the wall, is someone I can trust with my life and vice versa. Any disagreements we have evaporates on a fire scene or rescue call. We might bitch about each other but in the end we all love each other. You know how you can complain about your mom or brother but get pissed at someone who says anything about them? It's like that.
Like I said, if you're interested in it go for it. And I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

Yup, really. On a fire scene you will very rarely be alone. Everything is done by team. Primary search team is 2 FF's per floor or more, hose team is a nozzleman and a backup plus a few more feeding hose in to the building, RIT team is often 4 FF's standing ready, etc. Also if you find a victim in a fire building you are dragging them out. You stand up you burn you and them. There are techniques to all of this stuff too so it can be done by most people.
The fire service can be extremely rewarding and if it is something that interests you, you should go for it. The hardest thing for many people is the death you will inevitably see. Some folks can't deal with seeing horrible things and that is ok. Every first responder has a story that haunts them.
The upside (apart from the service you provide to the community) is being part of a family. It sounds cliché but it is true. Just like a blood family we have our disagreements and occasional fights but in the end we are all brothers and

I have tens of thousands of girls around me and can't talk to a single one.
Life is simpler this way I guess.

Nah, you wouldn't be a lousy firefighter. We have a few smaller guys, a few women, a few fat guys and they all are effective as firefighters. It isn't necessarily all brawn.

Those are European style helmets, so I'll guess Switzerland.
