I lived next to a firehouse in NYC. Firemen are nuts! Who else but a crazy Irishman (German, Italian, Hawaiian, etc) would run into a burning building humping 60 lbs of gear. Those guys on 9/11 made it up to the 70-something floor with all that crap-then proceeded to work. You must have more than few screws loose to get into that line of work.

I think firetiki's post is relevant (Considering the antics at most TC events). And I like the image his screen-name evokes.
