Carson City fire

The first firefighter/paramedic on the scene, Bob Schreihans will never forget what he saw, heard — even smelled — when he responded to the Sept. 6, 2011, shooting at the Carson City IHOP, where five people were killed and seven injured.

“Some of those things will stick with me forever,” he said. “It changes the way you look at things and the way you operate on a long-term basis to the short-term. I still can’t stand the smell of maple syrup and pancakes.”
It also changed the way he does his job.
