As a volunteer on the fire department, you believe in preparation, according to your boastful post. If that's limited to hauling fire extinguishers in your car, then I apologize for my misperception.
I wrongly assumed you meant you were prepared for all sorts of eventualities, for instance, being able to offer a factual comparison of vehicle fires and gun accidents, since it seemed that was your insinuation.
My mistake.
I think you should be afraid of things and avoid them. That leaves more room for those of us who want to live.
