Mainly night shifts spent with these firefighters, sharing the expectation of the alert, the sudden departure in oftenly very cold weather for a routine intervention or a perilous rescue.
A look at a profession of service to others exercised by discreet, silent and reserved men in a spirit of comradeship, commitment and self-sacrifice.
(NB: at the time, the staff was not yet mixed).
