If anyone else feels bummed out by this, there are a lot of calls to adventure you can answer at any time. 75% of fire departments in the United States are volunteer. If you’re in half decent physical shape, get out there. Disaster relief organizations like the Red Cross are good too. Lots of jobs to do where you can be sent to disaster zones for 1 and 2 week rotations, but also local disaster response, like showing up to house fires to help families find temporary housing.
