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
Just got done sitting through a night class on fire extinguishment at the OFA. It was long, dry, and we hope we all learn a lot more about this tomorrow when we actually get to do this HANDS ON!! Anyway, they show us this video, titled something along the lines of "Bread and Butter" Fires. The main narrator, a FDNY FF, is talking about how a ff should not block a doorway, and gave the following reason.
"If a firefighter needs to exit the room in a hurry, he's unlikely to say 'excuse me' as he leaves boot-prints on your forehead."
Good work! You turned a house into a swimming pool! -- Me after i came back from a trip, and the house next door burnt to the foundation, which was full of water

Steve Martin in the movie "Roxanne" people shouldn't be afraid to call the fire department!
Me, after we pulled a sinking boat ashore... "Michael rowed the boat ashore, we're inservice"
Me, after going to the nursing home 3 times for false trip due to floor wax operation "wax on...wax off, we're inservice"
Me, when dispatch asked if I could repeat my last message "nope"
Me, when someone complains about the rules "you can volunteer to join and you can volunteer to quit, in between, you do it our way!"
Me, after someone tells me they had an accident "did you wake up this morning and say 'self, I think I will ding the door of the engine today'...no? That's why we call em accidents"
Alright, We went to a mutual aid call in the rural part of our county. My crew was on a hose line and the asst. chief and Deputy chief of the department that covers that area came up to us after we came out of the house and the asst chief said "you city boys have to remember were in the country with no hydrants so watch how much water you use" I looked at him and said "you chiefs need to remeber youre outstanding firefighters, out standing in the front yard while the rest of us are inside fighting the fire" they chuckled and walked away.
Our police respond to all of our calls and are usually there first, accept for one officer that allways shows up after us and I am actually good friends with him. One day he showed up to a call after we already got there and I decided to give him some crap about it. I asked him why all the other cops beat us to the calls but he always shows up late. He looked at me and said " I am a firm believer in the ABC rule" I said what is that and he said
A- ambulance
B- before
C- cops
from backdraft "alright this is gonna taste like sh%t", also from backdraft from the toast @ lunch "to funny looking tim & the mccafrey brothers, gentlemen f*#k you!"
