I didn't have any of the kids from my class due while I was on but when I was a few years out of high school still volunteering in the area, one of our 17 year old probies had like 4 of his friends die in our district and he responded to all of them. That kid has never been the same since.

God I feel for him a person who I had a study hall with in my senior year (they were a junior at the time) passed away during a MVA in my district shortly after I joined my VFD, they had just graduated and it was my first fatality.

Honest to God this job can be rewarding but god damn when it sucks does it suck. Make sure that probie is actually seeking out mental health support if you can
