From the EMERGENCY! t.v. movie(premiered before series) ...."Rescue?...Hell All We RESCUED was a Corpse."
One of the best of all comes from Clint Eastwood in "Heartbreak Ridge"(not a firefighting movie but it works),My personal favorite..."CLUSTER F*CK"
Backdraft Steve to Brian.."I guess you and a hose where never introduced!"
Crewmember & Brian..."I'm Brian...."I'm Sorry"
Best scene would be from ladder 49,where the one guy lights the newspaper on fire an shoves it under the stall door,that's hilarious.

Firefighters are not extraordinary people, they are ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary situations.

“I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice.” ~Edward F. Croker~

We will risk nothing to save that which cannot be saved.
We will risk a little to save something which might be salvageable.
We will risk everything to safe a life.

I love this quote!!! "I can think of no more stirring symbol of man's humanity to man than a fire engine". and "A Backdraft always has the right-of-way".
