You can’t go to a fire scene and attack a raging house fire if your heart isn’t into it, and you can’t go to a vehicle accident and expect to save someone’s life if you don’t feel it 100% in your bones. You need the ability to concentrate solely on the task at hand in order to help preserve life and property Becoming a firefighter isn’t easy. It’s a tough, grueling process that requires dedication and devotion that does not fade or “get old” with time. The training is endless, the courses required become more and more detailed and cumbersome with each passing year, requiring even seasoned firefighters to update and keep their own training current. New tools, rules, codes, and means of fighting fires, rescuing victims from vehicle accidents, and performing hazardous materials response are printed all the time.
He gives of the impression that the event only made him stronger. Most people could never survive something as traumatizing as being in a falling building, but Richard Picciotto looked at it as a positive. From now on his children may look up to him as a hero; his wife will be thankful he survived. He may have bumps and bruises, but in the long run he will grow from his experience. Yes, Osama Bin Laden and his accomplices made horrible choices that day, and many lost families and friends.
In this section of the report, the authors detail the rate at which destructive fire kills, injures, and causes property loss to Americans. The report states that fire claims the lives of 12,000 people every year in the U.S., making it the second highest cause of accidental death. That isn’t the only human toll, because there are also 300,000 people who are injured by fire on an annual basis. The authors expound on the injuries by detailing the painful experiences of patients who must endure numerous plastic and reconstructive surgeries. The price of destructive fire is estimated at over $11 billion a year in the U.S. Loss of businesses leads to loss of jobs, which is a price that is beyond calculation.
This means the government does not see the need to have as many fire men/women and therefore made many redundant and closed down fire stations in order to save money. This has caused an upset, both with fire men and women local residents as they believe the service times may increase as there is not as many available in comparison to before the redundancies. The same can be said about the police force, there has been a vast decrease between the amount of people the police force take on and train and allow to become a member of the police force as they simply cannot take on the amount that may be needed due to government cutbacks and financial policies. However, a positive affect that can be said about financial policies that result on cutbacks for public services could be that as money is saved for example in reducing the amount of fire stations and fire men/women, the money could be invested in an alternative public service such as the paramedic service or the NHS in order to
At this time Social Darwinism was being introduced into society and perfectly depicts the life of the poor, injured, and sick. It is impossible for an immigrant to keep a job for any measurable length of time because of the dangerous conditions of the time, the risk of sickness, and the many people waiting in line to jump in and take a weak person’s job. The strong and willing were the only people who worked. The strong were the ones who did not surrender to the temptation of alcohol and drugs. The strong were the ones who caught the eyes of employers, and the strong were the ones who were able to provide for their family and move up in the world.
Many employers are reluctant if not opposed to enable their workers to form a union. This is because the workers would become higher maintenance in terms of paying for health benefits, higher wages and the workers would be less expendable. With employees not in unions, they have little or no protection against losing their job at any given time. Unions provide protection from the employer’s or company’s threat of unemployment, no benefits or low wages. However, today only certain occupations have organized unions and many are continuing to fight to begin their own.
Three of them reached out only to be denied the help they so desperately needed by the only person they trusted, which was me. Person B’s death was not the first of the three who reached out but his certainly has been the hardest to deal with thus far. In this field more loss of life is certain to happen. After the passing of the 14 clients, weighing the importance of keeping a job to pay bills, having food to eat, and a place to live versus the loss of life is re-evaluated daily. If time could be rewound, and the situations could be re-done, those clients who reached out would never have been denied the help they were
<BR> Imagine a life where as an employee you have no security in a job, if your employer believes he or she can be more profitable without you then without you is how they continue. Or if you are injured your income disappears also. This is how many workers lived their life in America at one time with continuously cut wages. Desperately trying to hold onto their position because no one else will care if they are replaced. While workers fought for fair treatment and job security, the employers wanted the freedom to become more efficient and profitable.
This causes thousands of people to become homeless and displaced. Also, not every household had flood insurance, so then FEMA stepped in to assist these people. This process of FEMA stepping in to help people in need of emergency help is very expensive. Government funds are used to give people mobile homes to live in and money to help fix their destroyed homes. Insurance companies were pounded after the storm with many insurance claims due to all the flooding and wind damage.
This meaning that the longer the federal shutdown lasts, the more federal workers will be sent home and put without a paycheck for until the problem is resolved. A big reason why the length of the shutdown has a big impact on the severity of the shutdown itself. Not only does this hurt the federal workers without a job and without pay, but this also affects the USA as a whole. This is because the federal workers that are being sent home are in agencies that are assisting many every day situation for common people. However, not all agencies are shutdown, the main essential ones that are often times relied on continue to operate as long as the funding lasts under shutdown operations.
