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.
Firefighters are ordinary people with extraordinary courage.
The firefighter's job is not only to put out fires, but to also protect lives and property.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires.
