National Emergency Responders Day-- Emergency responders are those men and women responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence and the environment. Police officers, firefighters, military personnel, paramedics, medical evacuation pilots, dispatchers, nurses, doctors, emergency medical technicians, and emergency managers. Emergency responders are volunteers and professionals dedicating their lives to public service. Their life-saving skills often make the difference between life and death. Their public service deserves to be recognized and honored.
Read: Rescue 911: Tales from a First Responder, by Michael Morse

First responders often don't tell stories, preferring to keep what happens at work private. Rescue Captain Michael Morse changes that with these heartfelt descriptions of hundreds of emergency calls, with the usual coverings peeled back, exposing the bizarre, heartbreaking, and often hilarious reactions to 911 emergencies.
