PTSD may be the least of his concerns, not to diminish it, depending on how much smoke he was exposed to. Burns, lung scarring, cancer...

Saved a young life though, I hope his community recognizes the heroism and helps him out.

u/Resident-Incident679 8d ago

As a firefighter, you are correct about lung scarring and burns. The cancer side one fire isn’t going to give you cancer. It’s our repeated exposure to the PFAS and byproducts of combustion more that cause our insanely high cancer rates.

Luckily we are fighting back with some more modern practices but we lose a lot of guys to it.

Edit: most likely his PTSD wouldn’t be severe, he saved lives and those are the ones that you forget.

It’s the ones you don’t save that haunt you at night.

u/kellenthehun 9d ago Gold

This made me cry. My Dad saved 4 people single handedly in a swamp boat accident. One of those big fan boats. Flipped in shallow water on Louisiana. After it flipped, 6 passengers became stuck, seat belts locked up. Slowly sinking in shallow, muddy water. He jumped in, swam to them, couldn't free them, swam back to his boat, got a knife from a stranger, swam back and cut four people from their belts. All unconscious. He finally got the last two, but it was too late. Both died. He was fucked up from it for a long time. Had recurring nightmares. Never felt like a hero. I imagined him asking the first responders if they made it, the two that came last, and him not getting the same answer this guy did. Fucking heavy.

u/actualmigraine 8d ago

Your father is a hero. If he hadn't done anything, all 6 of them most likely would have died. That sort of quick thinking and action is not something everyone can do. Four people managed to keep their lives thanks to what he did, and I'm sure those people think of him fondly, if they know he was their savior.

Even so, I understand the struggle of survivor's guilt. You always wish you could have done more. I hope he has found peace.

I read the other day that chronically anxious people tend to hold up the best under stressful situations.

They don't freeze up like "normal" people do, because they're used to walking through life in a state of fight or flight every day. When shit hits the fan and most people freeze or panic, the chronically anxious person just sees it as another day.

If anything, it can be paradoxically calming for them to have a clear external source of stress (instead of just generalised anxiety) and see everyone else freaking out, it makes them feel normal.

22

u/BobaFettuccine 8d ago

I concur with this wholeheartedly! I am anxious all the time and way over anxious when there might be a problem (kid might be sick or something), but in a real emergency I am very level headed. I got an elderly lady out of a burning car once no problem, but if my baby has a cough, I'm in a tizzy.

u/s1ugg0 9d ago edited 9d ago

Retired Firefighter here. The fumes are more than enough to kill you. Here are some fun things you'd breath in an average structure fire. We have things like carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide. Which is self evidentially horrible. But you also have phosgenes. Which was used as for chemical weapons in WW1. Plus all the synthetic substances coming apart at the molecular level due to pyrolysis.

Structure fires are basically low grade hazmat incidents. A single breath of that toxic shit can kill you. Firefighters get cancer if we don't properly wash that horrible particulate off.

Structure fire smoke is like lead or radioactive material. There is no safe amount to consume, breath, or have on your skin.

168

u/doppelstranger 9d ago

This jibes with what I learned after a friend in college died after going back in to retrieve a few possessions. So much of the stuff that catches fire in a structure fire is toxic when burnt. Before that I always assumed I'd do exactly what he did but now I wouldn't go back in for anything other than a child or loved one.

33

u/sjmn2e 9d ago

Research in the UK showed firefighters were 4 times as likely to develop cancer as a result of particulate contamination - with a much higher incidence of head and neck cancers. They thought it was because firefighters would put their contaminated gloves in their helmets to store them then put them on without decontaminating them. The danger of fumes from fires doesn’t stop when you leave the scene

The Chief would always, without missing a beat, kindly remind them that the number one killer of fire fighters in the United States is cancer. The big fancy laundry machines were them doing everything they possibly can to contaminated gear to keep it out of the living quarters.

A legit hero. Not the “I did my job” type of “hero”.

I'm a former firefighter (current fire marshal) that earned my department's second-highest honor for rescuing a woman. What this man did is INCREDIBLY courageous and difficult! Does anyone have a link to his gofundme?

We need a movement to pool our money towards to force the change we need in health care. This hero is on gofundme for his medical bills. What the fuck is wrong with our political structure that allows this

u/MeanderingMagus 9d ago

I do my part by simply refusing to pay medical bills.

Same. What else can you take from me? I own nothing. You can't squeeze blood from a stone.

This happened in my home town and the dude ended up needing a GoFundMe for his hospital bills. People who are willing to risk their lives to run into a burning building shouldn't need to worry about medical bills. Dude is a fucking hero.

u/MisterMarsupial 8d ago

shouldn't need to worry about medical bills

Everyone shouldn't need to worry about medical bills :(

u/Kaervek84 9d ago

Dude must have been bleeding pretty bad from his arm to get a tourniquet. What a champ.

u/Admirable-Degree4209 9d ago

He might’ve gotten cut climbing through a broken window. Plate glass is no joke.

u/jscott18597 8d ago

I'm sure he was bleeding, but we don't hesitate anymore. It is outdated doctrine to use a tourniquet as a last resort. You just use it period. We can save limbs that have had a tourniquet on for a loooooong time. One of the few good things to come out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

So moral of the story, don't hesitate at all. Don't think about it. Just use a tourniquet if you see a good amount of blood on a limb. let the doctors worry about the rest.

Also his arm was blurred but I see what looks like fresh burns unblurred on the cops arms, so whatever was censored must have been way worse...

Edit: Nope just the cops arm covered in blood. Not his own though, probably the actual hero's.

u/WWYDFA_Klondike_Bar 9d ago

Man, the application process for becoming a firefighter is brutal.

All jokes aside, this guy is an actual hero. That word gets thrown around far too often, but this is a real hero.

u/Beanerschnitzels 9d ago

Thanks for being a hell of a person and jumping into a burning building to save those kids....now here is your medical bill for being a hero.

u/mordinvan 9d ago

The government really should just comp him all that. He did save about 35 million dollars in human life, the medical bills really shouldn't be an issue in trade.

Not only is it more dangerous to be a pizza guy than a cop but apparently they’re willing to do some light fire fighting on the side.

I have a friend who was driving his semi down a grid road one night. Saw a house on fire, slammed on the brakes. Backed her up about a quarter mile and ran in screaming and wound up dragging folks out.

Heroes are out here. Theyre just hardly ever caught on body cam though.
