@Rant_Abarbara,

Yes, I would like to suggest that we should thank the firefighters.

A lack of gratitude has been shown to cause bitterness, a jaded outlook and an overall general sense of negativity and anger. In contrast, those who practice gratitude typically show symptoms of calmness, even-temperedness and an overall sense of happiness and satisfaction with life. In the words of someone wiser than I: "Grateful people are happy people, and those who aren't... aren't."

Besides the benefits of gratitude for oneself, thanking someone else has been known to lift their spirits and remind them that they too are fulfilling a greater purpose in life. If that's the power of two words - thank you - it's worth saying at every possible opportunity.
