But
sound aloud the praises, and give the victors crown
To our noble-hearted Firemen, who fear not danger's frown. ~Frederic

While Watching Great Firemen Save Helena From The West Side Fire
When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been
accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of
work. ~Edward F. Croker
I can think of no more stirring symbol of man's humanity to man
than a fire engine. ~Kurt Vonnegut
When fire is cried and danger is neigh, "God and the
firemen" is the people's cry;
But when 'tis out and all things righted, God is forgotten and the
firemen slighted.
~Author unknown, from The Fireman's Journal, 18 Oct 1879
All men are created equal, then a few become firemen.
Firefighters save hearts and homes. ~Author Unknown
If you think it's tough being a firefighter, try being a
firefighter's wife.
What you call a hero, I call just doing my job. ~Author

The hero is commonly the simplest and obscurest of men. ~Henry
David Thoreau
So
as you look at the firefighter with his rake, hose or axe,
His beet red face or ice covered mustache,
You should know why he goes through that smoky front door,
And is forced to crawl like a baby down on the floor.
He does it to save both lives and property,
All that is precious to you and to me.
So take a good look at this modern warrior who serves his call
proud and true,
And know that he would die just to save me and you.
~Robert J. Athans
You might be a firefighter if "climbing the corporate
ladder" has nothing to do with career advancement.
