We are safer because firefighters are willing to put their lives on the line to protect us, every single day.

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.

The firefighter's job is not only to put out fires, but to also protect lives and property.
The firefighter is not just someone who carries out fire prevention and control. He is a rescuer.
The firefighter is the last line of defense, the person who is always there, always ready to help in any way he can.

Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires.
Firefighters are natural heroes, and their role in society is one that is essential and irreplaceable.
The firefighter's spirit is something that can't be taught; it's something that's inside of them.
