I'm a Truck Officer and these are a few if my own quotes to the new members. "if you want to save buildings, the Engine is over there but if you want to save lives, come with us." Another one is, "My sister can hold a nozzle, but real men carry tools." another one is, " you're on the Truck with us now. One to is good but two are better." another one is, "the one thing that Engine guys and Truck guys have in common us that they both want to be Truck guys." another one is, " The right man with a can can put out alot of fire.". Another one is'" don't just carry tools, know how to use them." another one is, " these tools aren't designed to get you into a building, their designed to get you out of one."
