“Being a firefighter is a fairly physical job. It’s pretty taxing physically and mentally. We work hard to try and stay in shape. We spend most of the day training or working out to make sure we are ready to respond. My injury occurred during training. I was climbing a ladder to the second floor, and while climbing, the ladder fell, and I fell with it. I had shattered my left talus, and I had broken my right fibula in a couple of places.”
