Tom,
I have two cousins who were professional fire "fighters". Both are retired today, but the older one (84) is still active in his local VFD in Oquossoc, Maine. He drove and ran his pumper for two solid days for the huge train and oil tank fire up in Lac Megantic, Quebec, Canada a couple years ago. He had some fantastic photos..
My father was the secretary of our local VFD in Falmouth, Maine for 37 years (he also ran a pumper.) And my other half's m0other was the treasurer for the Westport, Maine VFD for 35 years.. She didn't run a pumper.
I on the other hand have never given a hoot about fire.. Never bothered with a camp fire when camping (unless I was freezing to death.) .. I'm the black sheep in a family of fire 'fighters' - but it's not from soot! .. LOL .. My 'wool' is all dirty from working hard all my life.. (Oh, and raisin' a little he!! now and again..)
