First off all my condoleances to the victim's families and friends.



I've had the chance to follow the Eindhoven Fire Dept. for 24 hours (they have 24hr shifts). I was allowed to go out on calls, excercises and everything else they do. When I was there during daytime, not a whole lot happened except for an accident and a small outdoor fire. But in the evening a lot of lightning and rain started comming, resulting in loads of calls. In the 24 hours we perhaps managed to sleep for 2 hours max. Next morning I was exhausted, and I didn't really do anything except watching them doing their job. Believe me, these people deserve so much respect. And I reckon working for the Eindhoven Fire Dept. is very heavy, imagine working for the FDNY...
