I knew a fireman, he had serious PTSD from all the things he saw every day. First to accidents, missing limbs, finding missing children inside tossed refrigerators, stuff like that. Pretty awful stuff even if they are hero's every day.

@MisterBander Same here. A person I still know pretended he was not affected by all the horrors seen for many years before they burst out and he had a breakdown. The 'macho' culture of the fire and rescue service meant he felt he could not admit to being affected. It has not had a very happy outcome, I'm afraid to say.
