This man died trying to save the lives of people he never met. As a fellow firefighter, I absolutely believe this "hoopla" is necessary. Maybe an event like this will remind people of the dangers inherent in our line of work and the sacrifices that we are willing to make to help complete strangers. Not to mention that 70% of us are volunteers and serve for little or no money. Hardly overpaid.
