One word. Repeat it three times. Watch the world stand still. A brothers down.
Everything on the fire ground stops. Everything. Everyone holds their breath so that maybe, our brother could have a little bit more.
Smoke fills the sky, flames still crackling. The word everyone wishes they’d never hear, the moment that can define, defy, and divide an and entire station, entire family, an entire life, that moment lasts forever.
Forever is a scam. The person you thought would be with you till the day you retired is suddenly a memory clouded by grief. The only thing that lasts forever, is the feeling you got when he said those words. The only thing that lasts forever, is the memory.
But a mayday doesnt have to be called on a fire. In a job where someones most traumatic day of their life is just another Tuesday, you need to talk. ******* it up gets you nowhere. It’s like a map that gives you every direction you could possibly go but no x marks the spot. If you’re in trouble, call mayday, a brother will help you. If you’re falling, call mayday. A brother will pick you back up again.
Even if you dont know what to say. One word. Repeat it three times. Help is on the way.
