I was watching a documentary, after 9\/11, on firehouses and FDNY and it seemed like a rewarding career. I like the comradery and decided that after I got my master\u2019s I would enroll in EMT school and pursue this career. Any call we go on, we\u2019re responding to a crisis situation and you\u2019re trying to bring the most positive outcome possible. Something bad\u2019s happening and you try to make the situation better than what it was before the call started. There was one (a fire) in my neighborhood, an old friend\u2019s house I had been in plenty of times and I was new. I was told to go to the roof. We cut holes in the roof to vent out the heat for the crews going inside with the hoses. When you\u2019re in the moment we all have a healthy fear and respect of fire. You\u2019re also focused on the task at hand so you don\u2019t think about, well it\u2019s always in the back of your mind, that stuff can go bad.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">HQ Press presents Brian Dolan as this week\u2019s human of Hamden. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":73,"featured_media":729,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,142],"tags":[9],"class_list":["post-728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hamden","category-homepage","tag-humans-of-hamden"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2066,"href":"https:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728\/revisions\/2066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hqnn.org\/hqpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
