I have a few, but these days, someone is likely to get offended if I post it here. no, not crude, just suggestive.

but I guess the best one is "greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his fellow man"

on the lighter side, "people don't call 9-1-1 when they're having a good day"

Heard this one in a training burn when interior safety wasn't sure if the attack crew knew to proceed. "Interior safety to attack you are cleared to proceed" The attack crew responded "Coming at you knee high" That one remains a common quote to let someone know that they are coming to there location or if they are coming to do something (we don't use on fireground, just around the station )
