In the engraved background, flames and smoke pour out of a residential home as the firefighter emerges in the foreground; he is depicted in full turnoutgear, including a red helmet with visor and a tan-coloured jacket with reflective yellow-green and silver trim. Beneath the visor, the firefighter'sself-contained breathing apparatus is visible-this protects him from the dangers of exposureand smoke inhalation in a fiery environment. In hisright hand, the firefighter holds a pike pole, usedto pull apart debris. His left hand cradles a dog that he has rescued from inside the home and is carrying to safety.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDid you knowÉ\u003cbr\u003eThere are an estimated 22,000 professional firefightersin Canada, and more than 85,000 volunteer firefighters.\u003cbr\u003eFirefighters must contend with much more than just fire-they are trained for search and rescue operations, hazardous materials, medical emergencies, auto accidents and more!\u003cbr\u003eÉwherever flames may rage \/ give me strength to save a life \/ whatever be its ageÉ These three lines speak of the selflessness of firefighting and are from A Firefighter's Prayer, which is well known amongfirefighters across North America.\u003cbr\u003eUntil the 1800s, firefighters wore little protective gear, save for clothing to keep them warm; as such, few dared to enter a burning building.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40784821387339,"sku":"RCM.CA.SV.CN.002504","price":180.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/4687177_Full_Obv.jpg?v=1717052322","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-silver-2016-d15-firefighter-national-heroes-_745oz_-_9999","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
