    They used a knife! Shocking!
    They should be arrested for carrying around a knife!

    Only professionals should have knives!

      I interviewed people from the flight that went down in the Hudson. They were desperate for a knife to cut the life raft from the sinking airplane. They got one from a first responder.

    These guys are some of the best that America has to offer Milwaukee is lucky to have these guys as fire fighters!

    When I see people like this who place themselves in mortal danger to help others, I am in awe. These are the people who transcend celebrity and wealth and who exist in a plain of existence above us all.

      No doubt these two firefighters should be held in awe for their self sacrifice. But in IMHO, the true people who transcend celebrity and wealth are the tens of thousands of volunteer firefighters and EMTs across rural America that do this day in and out with no monetary compensation and little notice outside their communities. Many of these organizations have to raise some of their own operating monies through fundraisers, which takes up more of their personal time. Also, they are never ‘off duty’ and are dispached any time of day or night 24/7 and expected to respond – leaving family gatherings, holidays, etc, at a moments notice – just having time to snatch a goodby kiss from a loved one.

      Volunteer firefighters and EMTs are in short supply in many areas through the country and I ask all who read this site to support them and if you can, give some of your time to serve in any capacity.

    Great local story in Milwaukee. The mayor, who is always trying to cut FD staffing gave them an award the next day. Typical politican getting the most out of those he would cast aside.

    Superb! These are real men. Bravo. Notice they were both sporting bandages where they too had been burned – and not once did they mention it.
