Carbondale's Heroes- I had a chance to visit one of Carbondale's Fire Department and this was actually the first time I have been inside a fire department.
They had a control room wherein they receive incoming calls for fire alerts. The Fire Dept. also serves as a house for the fire fighters. Most of them stay inside or even sleep in the dept. for 48 hours during their shifts and for me it needs a lot of passion for your job to do that. I was impressed to know that even during holidays the fire fighters would stay up late to receive calls or fire alerts. After the tour inside the department, the officers guided us on how to put on the fire uniforms or fire suits. As what i saw in Sabina's face it quite heavy with the oxygen tank and mask altogether. Who could imagine carrying that suit. They had three huge fire trucks with different tools that are useful for rescue and fighting fire. I am humbled to see and experience how these heroes live and inspire themselves when they battle fire and save lives for the City of Carbondale
