Four Alarm Fire

"I could have helped more. I could have saved more. What if those people lost in their were my family? Would it have made a difference? I was there but I was new. I wish I could have been better. I wish I could have been stronger. Why didn't I try harder?" These thoughts, unanswered questions race through his mind. He was a new fire fighter, fresh out of training. He hadn't obtained the knowledge of what exactly to do. His first fire, so many people lost; friends, coworkers, innocent people too. He longs to go back and change it all but he can't. NO matter how much he wishes, he can never bring them back.
