Smoke heroes.
They crawl around on weak boards and in zero visibility.
They may be hozing down the fiery building in the dead of winter.
They crawl around on in flaming furnaces in the middle of July.
They may get the call at any time of the day or night.
They may be have the flu, but they still run into that burning building.
They may not have eaten all day or slept for days, due to the overload of calls coming in.

They do it with low pay, and without fame.
