Indirectly probably alot, good luck putting out those fires without the water mains and fire hydrants I install my career has a higher death rate than yours so I put my life on the line everyday just like you.

Oh... I am not just a fire fighter. I am in multiple rescue organizations.
I am one of a dozen people who essentially are the first and last response to thousands of miles/kilometers of remote pristine Australian coastline/sea... Whether it be a boat, car, search and rescue, fire, vertical... You name it.

If you think you are at higher risk than that... Well... Not sure what to tell you. :P

Plus we don't need water mains and fire hydrants with the bulk water carriers backing up the 34P/Alpha 34P's. - The USA's approach to firefighting is far different to our own, you cannot rely on water mains out in the middle of nowhere as they blatantly don't exist, so we learned to become self sufficient.

Jokes aside, I dont think your selfish or arrogant, I just think that previous statement came off as such. It just sounded like, "I dont care what others want, as long as I get what I want" which I'm sure wasnt how you intended it but that's how it came off to me so if I misinterpreted than that's my bad.

I am definitely not selfish. But I am arrogant, but there are reasons for that. Haha

Maybe it's different in AUS but in the US my profession has a higher chance of death than law enforcement, firefighters & emergency medical services.

I've been in 30ft+ feet deep trenches where cave ins are a huge risk. Worked inside of methane filled confined spaces where combustion and/or asphyxiation is a risk. Constantly working around housting/rigging carrying thousands of pounds of material (2 years ago a guy on another crew for the company is was working for got killed during a rigging failure).

Worked on many heavy highway projects (guy on my crew got hit by a car on a job last year). Digging alongside water/electric/gas utilities everyday (its common for the locating company to miss a locate and we end up finding/hitting a utility that's not marked, operator once hit an unmarked water and electric line at the same time, if I was in the ditch at that moment I would have been electrocuted).

Been on a job where I directly handled dynamite. Work alongside heavy equipment every day and had many close calls with mechanical malfunctions (hydraulics line blew and almost got crushed by excavator) and human error (operator not following hand signals almost cut my feet off a few months ago).

Sure, you might be at a higher risk but I go through my fair share of risks on a day to basis....well not at the moment because I'm off with a work related injury
