Care to enlighten us where you see someone with their hands in their pockets? I see what appears to be a firefighter with purple gloves on and if for your information, Med-Flight assigns personnel on the litter with the patient that is being carried to the helicopter.

When did this become a discussion about the weight of the firefighters? I'm a plumber and all I could think about was this injured worker's health and how his family must feel. Grow up.
