EMS1 (EMS EMT Paramedic Ambulance)

Just had a former co-worker die unexpectedly.

A year ago, my partner of 8 months, who was only 23 years old went to sleep while working a shift, and didnt wake up, he died. He was a great EMT, and fireman..This was very stressful to all of us who worked with him and shortly before this (a couple of months), A co-worker was shot, on the job, all of this in such a short period of time caused many of us to break down..The job itself is so stressful, but, to add all of this was horrific..

all firemen add me!

Very true!!!

rip my friends my brothers god rest ya souls

Very sad, indeed.
