Firefighters have always put their lives on the line for the general public. So it shouldn’t really be a problem if they decided to catch a nap back in 2017 on a lawn. In fact, the picture of them sleeping did prompt quite an outpouring of support for them. The firefighters had been fighting against a massive blaze in Portugal, one that had already killed 64 people. This was the deadliest forest fire in the seafaring country. The iconic picture was taken by Pedro Bras- another firefighter. The image showed his colleagues taking a nap and lying on their coats on the 18th of June, 2017. The fire, according to news, started around 200 km northeast of Lisbon. And it started gathering speed and mass, killing people in their cars as they tried to escape.[1]
