Q: Do you ever feel afraid?

Yeah, of course. Sometimes, we're out there risking our lives. (1) Naturally / Amazingly, I feel some fear from time to time, but I can't think of a more rewarding job. A few months ago, we were called to a fire in a block of flats. It was quite a serious situation.... (2) Amazingly / Honestly, I've got to admit that I was nervous. On the way there, we heard on the radio that there were still two young lads in a flat on the second floor. Well, that made me get over my fear quickly. (3) Unfortunately / Thankfully, a lot of children are afraid when they see us firefighters in all our gear. They don't understand that we're there to help them, and they run away or hide. (4) Fortunately / Sadly, in this case, the kids didn't do that. We went straight up to the second floor, grabbed them, and got them outside to safety. The look on their mum's face was priceless. (5) Naturally / Amazingly, everyone in the building got out safely. That's what it's all about for me — saving lives.

or anything.² , I didn't panic; somehow, I stayed calm and

I felt confident that I would be OK.

Then, about ten minutes later, I heard quick, loud footsteps running toward me. My heart was pounding. I closed my eyes. When I opened them, there was a large dog standing in front of me. He started to bark. Then I heard

his owner call his name, 'Jackson!'³ , instead of running

away, Jackson just stayed with me and kept barking until his owner followed the noise straight to us.

⁴ Jackson's owner, Stacey did have a cellphone and was

able to call for help. We're still friends today, and we often go hiking on
