Thanks to Dan Potter, FDNY (ret) for passing along this link to some incredible firefighting photos from the not so distant past. Yeah, you'll find a thousand things "wrong" with the gear, but the bravery, intensity, and the brotherhood comes shining through.
Warning: graphic images

Edit: Take the time to read the introduction. I was caught up in the photos for quite a while and finally read the intro. Should have done it first.

"Bravery" should be the result of proper training, the confidence you gain from experience and being able to make informed decisions quickly under pressure.Otherwise...it can just be Valiant Stupidity....
