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
we had a control burn last summer that anytime a good wind would pick up and push the column over the mountain we'd get 50 calls that day. we even had one of our own call it in on her day off.

"Our department runs 250 plus calls a year. Do you know how many of the calls the public expects perfection on? Everyone of them. Nobody calls the fire department and says, 'Send me two dumb-ass firemen in a pickup truck.' In three minutes they want five brain-surgeon decathlon champions to come and solve all their problems."
This one is about soldiers but applies to the Fire Service also:
"No great dependence is to be placed in the eagerness of young soldiers for battle, for the prospect of fighting is agreeable to those that are strangers to it."--Vegetius
