The victims I have seen directly consumed by fire, I have seen while wearing my scba and have not really smelled them. I’m not on the crews that transport after.

However, when we go to an untimely death or otherwise serious call, there are certainly smells. Nothing having kids hasn’t also sort of exposed you to, though.

Then again, cats, old feces, and other unknown substances and smells from long-passed people does stick around.

You get used to it in an odd way.
