The firefighters will rush into a burning fire with no regard for their own safety, worried only about the safety of those trapped inside the burning structure. It is nothing short of breathtaking, and I get goose bumps every time I watch. Rescue Me appeals to the young kid in every adult male. I know we have all dreamt about riding in a big-ass fire truck barreling down the street in route to some blazing inferno. For me it always seemed like fires happened to people that no one knew and that firefighters were iconic symbols and not real people.
