The best thing about being an old fireman is getting to be an old fireman
- Former Fire Chief

Dispatch -The caller states it smells like burning watermelons.
Deputy Chief- County, what do burning watermelons smell like? (true story)

Truck- What house on main street is it?
Chief- The only one on fire. (also true)

Don't know if it has already been said but when following a hoseline out of a building, "Smooth Bump Bump back to the pump". And about putting tools in a pocket and sliding down stairs, "Left is Life"

My favorite line is when I have someone that knows everything and wants to argue about something they know nothing about, I tell them," I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person". Usually it takes them a while to figure it out.
