Often, the right thing to do is not the interesting or exciting thing. Frequently, it results in firefighters' standing by in a position and not being put to work unless something unusual or bad happens. This does not suit most firefighters. We want a piece of whatever is going on. We are proud of what we do and want to show how well we can do it. One such position is that of a nozzleman at an auto accident.

Even if he has performed this task a number of times, he probably has never had to open his charged line to protect firefighters and victims in the vehicle from a sudden eruption of flames.
