Page 1 of POLL: Which Emergency/Rescue Service Has The Most Dangerous Job

International Rescue.

all of them as they all at some point put their lives at risk.

I worked in secure and acute Psychiatric hospitals and did the same on a daily basis. Very strange going home after an inccident that has nearly cost your life, the world continues and you just want to stop people and tell them lol...

Oh well what you dont see you cant worry about :D

mmm chocolate

Are you talking about Gerry Anderson`s International Rescue or the real International Rescue?

Also I admire every emergency service. I`m only asking what one in your opinion has the hardest / most dangerous job. I`m sure I have missed out plenty, but I can only put in so many.
Sorry if I have offended anyone.

Has to be the lifeboat crews but you forgot the AA , didn`t they used to have an advert claiming to be the 4th rescue service or something ?

RNLI
especially as they don`t get paid but still go out whatever the conditions

dangerous jobs? bare-handed wolf-wrestling; working in macdonalds; repeatedly bouncing a beach-ball off mike tyson`s forehead; dancing with tigers in a field of fire; driving a london bus; chewing used hypodermic needles whilst stabbing yourself repeatedly in the groin with a blunt screwdriver; asking people if they need assistance in a dss office and walking up clapton road, hackney.

on balance i`d have to give it to the poor sods at macdonald`s. i`ve been in the police for 6 weeks now and i`ve already had a nasty run in with a machete nutter, but those poor bastards still get more grief than we do.

raise the minimum wage that`s what i say...

... oh, and definitely start paying the rnli... although it`ll probably just turn them into lazy bastards who only pretend to do any work... works for us.
