from my very limited marine fire training, i found fire fighting very very physically and mentally exhausting. The restricted mobility and breathing ability aswell as lack of senses (visibilty - you feel round the walls in pairs) make it very daunting. For example every now and again we done air checks - so you read and say your oxygen level to your partner. This gets tricky and requires more concentration than you would think and is a test of your stabilty in exercises. Then there is the small matter of carrying large adults (or sand bags  )out of fire...
So i was crap but I have sooo much respect for the real heros!
