Have you ever had a story so unbelievable, heart-wrenching, or hysterical that you couldn't believe it was your own? At Firefighter.com, we want to share your experiences with other first responders around the country and the world.

Whether it's the favorite tale told at a dinner party or an experience you've never spoken of, your words are welcome here.

Art S., Retired Batallion Chief, Avondale Fire Rescue, Arizona

"As the captain of engine 171, Firefighter Bill Allen, and our other crew members responded to a call of an injured child. We arrived on the scene of a house, and found a young girl hanging by her tongue to the bottom of the freezer. Apparently her older sister had told her it was ice cream. As I and the other two firefighters tried to figure out what to do, I noticed Bill rifling through the drawers in the kitchen. He retrieved a turkey baster and, filling it with water, walked over, sprayed the young girls tongue, and she was freed. No harm done. As we left, we could hear the mother berating the older daughter. I never tell bad stories when people ask me, I always tell that one. Rest in peace, Bill- Vietnam veteran and a good firefighter/paramedic.
