There is a comic that depicts exactly this..
Salamanders show that compassion isn’t a weakness it’s a strength that fuels devotion and sacrifice like no other. They retain their families, their identities, their values and unlike most of the other chapters they’re never separated from who they were and what they loved. They’re a super dope faction that I love, Salamanders and Space Wolves are the best and most unique/human of the chapters.

To be fair, if you kill orks, they come back from spores and get your civilians. But if you cremate orks, they don’t. If you kill Tyranids, they might still infect some civilians with genestealer stuff. But if you cremate Tyranids, they’re gone. If you kill Chaos Spawn or Nurgle-infested creatures, they are still obscenely contagious to vulnerable civilians. But not if you kill them with fire. I think the Salamanders are worried about sanitizing the battlefield, not just winning.

My head-canon is that the salamanders have the best MREs since they stay with their families, I can imagine they learned some recipes and make them themselves since they’re probably the most self sufficient legion. And with their care for civilians, I think they might even share some of those homemade rations with the people they rescue.

From what I've read, it definitely varies a bit. Originally they were pretty monstrous before they found sanguinius, and couldn't really control their thirst. Then post sanguinius they're generally pretty nice, nicer than most marines I'd say. And being a thrall to a blood angel is probably one of the nicer forms of slavery in the setting! 😂 At the same time, there's a bit in the night lords trilogy where they massacre civilians who are associated with night lords, because to them, they're no longer human, just mutants and heretics

I can see Salamanders having problems with Grey Knights. Except no Salamander ever remembers encountering a Grey Knight.
Nice addition with the extra info on the chapter, at the start
This is a good example of the addage "The best soldiers fight not because they hate what is in front of them, but because they love what is behind them."
I think the fact that Salamanders are allowed to stay in contact their family still is really what sells the fact that they are the most wholesome chapter.
The Emperor gave his compassion to Vulcan.
"Leave your family behind, aspirant." "What? Fuck that, sir. I'm joining the Ultras! Or the Salamanders!"
So salamanders are the most human, interesting!
Salamander's are either petting the new family kitten at the family barbeque or burning xenos and stomping heretics

I've just started listening to the e-books on Audible, and I think it was the endgame of the Pandorax book that is a perfect example of this. No spoilers, but they put civilians and their defence objectives above all else.
White scars and space wolves actually care a lot about civilians to. In one of his books the khan asks I think Guillaume or sanguinius during the heresy if his troops actions would save many lives, and look at the soace wolves during the months of shame. The sallies are still my favorite tho and always will be.
The Salamanders answer the question "What would happen if you had an entire legion of Clark Kents as space Marines?"
Salamander then gets a perfect headshot with his flamer saving the hostage
Hugging people to Sleep
Ironic that the most wholesome legion and their Primarch are called the Destroyers because when there is no civvies to protect, even Angron would be jealous of the destruction they caused. That's how brutal they are to their enemies.
