A Tribute To Those Who Love A Firefighter The families of firefighters have to face, a constant struggle for balance loving and supporting a hero and adapting to the loyal attitude the firefighter has toward the job. Families can become resentful about a wide range of topics, including the extended shifts and the danger factor each firefighter has to face. Some families choose not to think about the danger factors while others become very familiar with them. Regardless of how a family chooses to deal with the stress factors of the job it takes a very special person to love and support a firefighter knowing that at anytime he/she may pay the ultimate price. Now that’s unselfish and deserving of praise and admiration. Thank you for loving our nation’s bravest!
