Firefighter Timmy Reen faces a unique challenge in the macho culture of the New York Fire Department, where his cautious approach to smoke inhalation is met with ridicule. After fires, while others quickly remove their oxygen masks, Reen often waits, holding his breath before using his oxygen tank. His actions aim to avoid carcinogens, reflecting a rational approach amidst the teasing. Additional quirky habits include bringing personal bedding for overnight stays, using personal cleaning supplies, and carrying a second remote to avoid shared germs, highlighting his commitment to hygiene in a tough environment.
Standing amid the smoke and steam and wet debris, the other firefighters would shut off their oxygen tanks and pull off their face masks. But not Firefighter Reen.
He brought his own sheets and pillowcase for overnights at the firehouse. He wiped down everything with his own stash of bleach wipes, including the inside of the fire engine.
