As someone pointed out elsewhere in this thread, the same is true of driving to work, which makes OP's position rather questionable.

This is the worst headline I've read all day.

I don't think he has any beef with firemen, but if your job is to deliberately expose yourself to an incredibly dangerous situation on the regular, death is kind of an expected outcome.

I agree, as far as that goes, but I still feel sorry for them.
