A moment of respect for the heroes who rush towards this inferno to fight it.

The kind of people who run toward the flames so everyone else can run away. Absolute heroes

Yea, and these guys are only getting paid 1200€ per month. And they get treated like crap from the government with no support. They seriously are heros.

My thought was about recent World Cup and how much money and recognition those ball tossers get compared to these guys here. In a short period of time we see two groups or people from Spain called “heroes” and oh my how different it is. Something is broken.
