‘One call I will never forget ...’

FireRescue1 Unforgettable Calls is a place where firefighters from across the country can connect to share their stories about the calls that have stayed with them, everything from the play by play of a mayday call to the memorable moment a patient thanked them for saving their life.

If you’d like to share your story with the FireRescue1 community, please review our submission guidelines and email editor@firerescue1.com.

We learn so much from the actions of others, even simply knowing that others have been through similar experiences. Share your dramatic rescues, complex extrications, touch-and-go moments with patients, the humanity of brothers and sisters helping each other after natural disasters – any moment you consider truly unforgettable.
