[QUOTE="beast1989, post: 1543574, member: 15449"] Agree. Just because someone is a fire fighter doesnt mean they are an all purpose super hero. If I was there and I was a fire fighter I wouldnt step into the water because for one I can barely swim the length of a pool, the distance involved, having to drag a person back who wants to be out there to begin with, the temp of water, lack of training, lack of proper equipment/clothing, protocol (unfortunately), and what could happen to my family and my life if i try gallantly but still fail. No one on the beach enjoyed being helpless but at the end of the day the man consciously put himself in a very good position to lose his life so I would never expect anyone to put themselves in an equally deadly position just to save another, especially when they have family's of their own to come home to. These men do more for their community's in a weeks worth of work than most Americans do in a lifetime so i would be foolish to down them for this. [/QUOTE]
