“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 THOSE WHO KNOW THE WORK WHICH A FIREMAN HAS TO DO |
|
. |
|
BELIEVE 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 SUPREME SACRIFICE.” |

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who have gone before us. They will be missed and always remembered for their sacrifice and duty to the City in which they served. |
