I was my best action I felt like a hero... Have I ever felt like that? Rather not. It’s a sure thing that there where some rescue missions during which I was presumed to be a hero, but for me it was, it is and it will be just a job I do. The job, I have been training and preparing for. Each of us learns his profession in order to do it his best. I try to do it reliably and conscientiously as well. In my profession getting child out of the burning builiding or bringing somebody back to life - could it be regarded as a heroism? I don’t think so. / In my opinion the answer is ‘not’. If it was done by a man, who had a poor grasp of life-saving and was not related to firefighting, for sure he would be called ‘a hero’.
I was my best action when I felt as a hero... It happened, that an old man lost the consciousness during the fire of his flat. While me and my fellows in the trade were carrying him out of the building, we pronounced him a cardiac arrest. Making a decision what should be done was very quick – resuscitation. At the start everything went without any difficulties, but within minutes I begun growing weak. Fortunately, at this very moment my friends felt his heartbeat. I was overjoyed at my well done job. The man started breathe deeply and regularly.
Up to this day I sometimes meet in the street the man, whom I managed to rescue from: Saint Peter’s hands / angel of death / sudden death.
