A LOOK BACK.

Certainly the old days. Taking a feed....hanging out a window looking for some air...

Sitting on the back step with mild carbon monoxide poisoning....glassy eyed...moving slowly...puking....pasted!

Spend the rest of the afternoon coughing sludge out of your lungs.....taking recoup time (Take an hour!)

That's what I remember seeing on the fireground in the 1960's.
 
The worst jobs were in the Old Law Tenements with the long hallway to the first bedroom off to the left or right, take out the window take a blow and continue down the hallway to the kitchen and other rooms where the fire was. Crawling down hallways was normal procedure in them. A lot of bad knees as a result.
