Forty-five years ago, from 1969 to 1974, I fought fires in New London, Connecticut as a volunteer bunkman and fought fires as a paid man and volunteered on the ambulance in Groton, Connecticut-meaning over 2000 runs, or about the equivalent of two year's duty in a four-shift busy big city firehouse. Enough runs to respond to multiple-alarm workers, routine structure fires, arson, tank fires, mattress fires, kitchen fires, electrical fires, lightning hits, car fires, dumpster fires, grass fires, extrications, car accidents, truck accidents, bus accidents, smoke in the building, wash downs, false alarms, drunk drivers, heart attacks, strokes, fractures, concussions, contusions, abrasions, hemorrhaging, burns, and a few dead bodies.
