Hello everyone, glad to be back here, April's monthly #inleo challenge was a bomb, and it finally came to an end, for those of us who weren't aware or couldn't join no worries, the May edition is here again, strap your seat belts, snd get ready to have an amazing time.
Today is already the 4th day, don't say I didn't tell you lol, join in and experience the ride with us.
First responders
These are individual who risk their lives to respond to crisis and emergency situations, while others run away from these chaotic situations, these unsung heroes rush towards the scenes of the emergency to stand as a shield, to buffer the situation, to protect individuals and save lives.
First responders are usually the first to respond to emergency situations, they are more or less the first people we call when there's a fire accident, when there's a car accident, or a criminal or terrorist attack, also in the cases of natural disasters like floods, earthquake, name any emergency you can think of, these individuals are always ready to rush to the scenes of these emergencies.
With their profession, comes the need to respond swiftly and timely, a moment's delay could be fatal, hence the reason why they are trained to respond swiftly and decisively. They are trained to make calculated decisions, prioritize situations, more like think of which situation requires immediate attention as opposed to some that could be delayed a bit without any harm done. Imagine being in a fire accident scene, and then seeing a child and it's mom being trapped in the fire, the fire fighter has to make the decision of whom to save first, if saving the both of them is possible, how does he go about it, and he/she just has that moment to make these life altering decisions.
As important as prompt response to emergencies is, the place of preparedness cannot be overemphasized, there is need for all of our first responders to be prepared at all times and ready to spring into action once the need arises.
There was a recent incident in my hometown, where a tanker exploded, and there wasn't swift response from the fire fighters, this led to the death of many people, properties where also destroyed as a result of the incident. Hence the reason preparedness is a very crucial part of the responsibilities of these first responders.
The government should also be willing to provide the necessary resources for these first responders, to enable them carry out their duties efficiently, we all can agree that without adequate resources, a job wouldn't be done as efficiently as if the resources needed were provided, because there is little or nothing these individuals will be able to do if they lack the most basic resources to carry out their jobs.
Finally, I personally feel that these first responders aren't given the much appreciation they deserve, they risk their lives all the time and yet they aren't appreciated, most of them are even underpaid, not minding what they have to go through just so we can live comfortable lives, just so we can be safe. These are the real MVPs, they are the unsung heroes, and I personally think their dedication, sacrifices, resilience should be celebrated and also awarded, because it takes courage and a heart for humanity to venture into these professions.
A minute of tribute to all our front liners and first responders, you guys rock, we're grateful for the work you do, we see and appreciate the work that you do, thank you for putting us first🥇

Apart from recognition, there has to be adequate investments in infrastructure of this regard. Sometimes I forget that we have fire fighters in this country. The police have no sense of duty and the military are arrogant show offs. It’s really hard to appreciate people who make it their job to make life hard for people living in a country full of enough hardships.
Well they aren't the only first responders, you can give credit to the others.
Yeah I will agree that most police officers have no sense of duty, on the other hand, I also think that the system has been messed up, even the young ones that come in and want to do things differently aren't even given the chance to do so, the government also has a role to play if there will be a reformation of any kind in police.
Thanks for stopping by.
I agree with you. However, what needs reformation is the government body not the authority under it. When the government is reformed and way is made for the right kind of people, all others would fall into place.

These are nice combinations, yes of a truth, these officers are saving and serving their citizens and their countries at large, they deserve sincere recognitions from all of us, yeah!
Yeah they do. Thanks for stopping by.
Honestly, I find it hard to say that there are firefighters in this our country. The only news you will hear is about fire outbreaks and the number of people affected but nothing will be mentioned about any firefighter coming to do something about the situation.
This make it hard for them to be appreciated because they don't carry out their duties. Their existence is not known as well but still, kudos to any agency which carries out their expected duties.

I believe we humans can also make the jobs of first responders a lot easier especially fire fighters. I once witnessed a situation when a fire fighter truck was caught in traffic. They kept horning but people refused to let them pass through knowing fully well that lives and properties are at stake.

Thank you for stopping by.
This aspect of fire fighting is something the government must look into, fire emergency is something that can never be predicted, adequate resources must be made available to make the work easier for the fire fighters. What a great post!

So many responderd do not get the equipment they need and they definitely do not get the accolades they deserve. So yes a minute of tribute for all responders.
Popped in from dreemport tonight #dreemerforlife
Yeah they don't actually get the resources needed to make them more efficient in their job.
Thanks for stopping by.
First responders sure have one of the greatest jobs ever. Their efforts truly deserves to be appreciative every now and then, they put their lives on the line to make sure citizen are okay.
