you can post some of your favorite fire fighter or fire related quotes here, mine is
"I am just another fireman because the story focuses on Joaquin Phoenix's character, but I play Joaquin's close friend and I get burned up a little bit, but I don't die. Morris Chestnut"
if you could supply the author it would be greatly apreciated
EDIT:-10.17.08- non fire fighter quotes are also excepted, EDIT:11/26/08 dont forget to add me
RUNNIN HOT- "LIGHT EM UP, ROLL EM OUT, PLAY WITH THE TOYS N MAKE SUM NOISE!! "
OUR 4000 GAL TANKER- "WATER TOWER ON WHEELS"
ABC'S- "AMBULATE BEFORE CARRY"
"HAVNT LOST A FOUNDATION YET!"
FLASH OVER-"TOO MANY LIGHTS ON THE PUMPER" ( SOUNDS LIKE OUR NEW PUMPER, ALL POWER ARC L.E.D.'S)
BACKDRAFT- " FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE ON THE WAY BACK TO THE STATION"
"TRUCK'S FULL!!" - USUALLY YELLED AFTER YOU MANAGE TO OVERFLOW MORE WATER ON THE GROUND THAN YOU HAVE IN THE TRUCK...
"ONCE A FIREFIGHTER, ALWAYS A FIREFIGHTER"
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND SMOKE DETECTORS...U DONT HAVE ONE, GET ONE! --TOO MANY PEOPLE DONT HAVE THESE!!
GET OUT AND STAY OUT--TOO MANY PEOPLE DONT DO THIS!!
E.D.I.T.H.- EXIT DRILLS IN THE HOME--UNFORTUNETELY, TOO MANY PEOPLE DONT PRACTICE THESE WITH THEIR KIDS...
Here's a couple of good ones that I've heard around the station: "To look good, you gotta be good."
Here's one from our training chief: "Train for the worst and hope for the best."
Another quote and I believe it is from a movie but it is very true: "It takes a special person (or a crazy one) to run into a burning building when everyone else is running out." I don't know how many of you have seen the cartoon where there is a picture of a fireman in full turn out and the question is asked
"This fireman is: A. White B. Minority C. Vollunteer D. Fulltime E. Male F. Female, anwser: who the hell cares brotherhood means brotherhood." Hope you guys like these. Eveyone take care and stay safe.

You want to know how big my balls are? My balls are bigger than two of your heads duct-taped together. I’ve been in the middle of shit that would make you piss your pants right now. Uptown, downtown, Harlem, Brooklyn. But there ain’t no medals on my chest, assholes, ’cause I ain’t no hero. I’m a fireman. We’re not in the business of making heroes here. We’re in the business of discovering cowards, ’cause that’s what you are if you can’t take the heat. You’re a pussy, and there ain’t no room for pussies in the FDNY.
ABC- Ambulate Before Carry
You can't fix dead or stupid
If a building isn't worth putting a sprinkler in then is it reallly worth a FF life?
Gravity always works...use it
Chief to a citizen complaining about apparatus on his street - "When you call the Fire department You are GONNA get fire trucks." or "Kinda hard to haul all that water in my back seat"
WE CAN PARK OUR BIG RED TRUCKS WHEREVER WE PLEASE...SO GET OVER IT...
