My personal favourite when it comes to the emergency services are FIREMEN. Not just because they are sexy, but also because I think they're pretty brave and they drive big trucks with sirens - what's not to like?
Ok, lets get started:
Kurt Russell and William Baldwin in Backdraft - oh, it's a silly film but there's some fab montages of fighting fires and running around and LOTS of nice men in uniforms to power ballads :) Watch the trailer, go on :)
The Towering Inferno is an excellent film - you can see the trailer here on IMDb. It stars the lovely Steve McQueen and Paul Newman. Both very handsome men in their day, I think you'll agree?
Of course, no post about Firemen would be complete without mentioning the events of September 11th 2001. As we're coming up on the 8th anniversary of that fateful day, it only seems right to show respect for the bravery of the emergency services of New York - I hope you won't think badly of me for posting about this here.
World Trade Centre, starring Nicholas Cage is well worth watching, and is more or less guarenteed to make you cry too. Have another trailer while we're at it. Ok, I should point out that the film isn't about Firefighters, they are Port Authority police officers.
Finally, some links which you should visit:
National September 11 Memorial and Museum - really inspiring design ideas
The Unofficial Fire Department of NY site - which is nicer than the official one, I think :)
All Gave Some, Some Gave All. Always Remember - The Uniformed Firefighter's Association Tribute to members who perished on 09/11/01
