Clearly if there were true danger to the fire fighter…saving a dog’s life would be too risky and not worth it. It reminds me of people who’ve gone on the ice to save their dog…only to break through along with the dog and drown themselves while the dog manages to survive. It doesn’t make sense.
But here in Boston….they have sent fire-fighters into abandoned warehouses –old, decrepit several story buildings that are totally ablaze –and maybe 6 firefighters are sent inside on the chance that someone “might” be inside. (ie a homeless person sleeping in there). On at least one occasion that I remember, the whole crew was killed when the building collapsed under the blaze. Sometimes they do it just to save these buildings. Even though it’s their job, it doesn’t make sense to me that their lives are risked for that.
