Answer 1

a phobia?

maybe you had a horrible experience involving paramedics and firefighters?

you can get over it, face your fears. think that its all in your mind...mind conditioning is it.

Answer 2

Wherever firefighters or paramedics go, there is a problem. You are afraid of maybe your imagination making the worst of the situation, or maybe because they are near you you  think you may be part of the problem. This could be subconscious, making you not understand your fear.

Answer 3

if you were invovled in an accident when you were young, that involved firefighters and an ambulance, then you're probly traumatized.

the only way to get over this fear is to get to know them at a personal level, and work on the same objectives that they work on...

a good way to do this is: volunteer at a hospital or Emergency Room

i was like you at once becuz two of my best frinds died in a car crash when i was like in 3rd grade... and i was taken to the hospital... etc...

i got over this by volunteering in an ER

and im only 15

Answer 4

Answer 5

You were probably traumatized as a child.  Start by getting to know a firefighter and paramedic on a personal level.  Once you get comfortable with them on a personal level have them introduce you to their uniforms and gear.  This will help alleviate some of your fears and eventually you will be able to get over most of them.

Answer 6

The only way to conquer your fears is to face them.You must find the courage to face the objects of your fears as many times as it is necessary to overcome them.Ask a friend to come with you to look at firefighters and ambulances.Expose yourself to your fear little by little every day and you will learn that there is nothing to be afraid of.On the contrary.These are the people that can help you instead of hurt you.

Answer 7

you're probably afraid of those things because when they come that means somthing really bad is happening, and your probably afraid of the ambulence because you dont want to end up there
