Comment by Kipp Rix on August 8, 2011 at 11:28pm: Chief, was so pleased last tour to find on of our new rookies sitting in the back of the station reading your book. It started a conversation and his eyes lit up when I showed him my cook book with your foreword in it you had written for me. Thanks for the inspiration, hope to see you soon.

Comment by Kevin Lanford on March 30, 2011 at 11:11am: Just heard that Chief Lasky is coming to Orange Beach, Alabama for the Alabama Fire Chief's Association annual meeting - time for a little "recharging" of the soul!

Comment by Shawn Anon on January 30, 2011 at 5:26pm: Chief, I think your "Pride and Ownership, a firefighters love of the job" presentation should be reviewed by every firefighter in America annually until we bring the Brotherhood and Tradition in the fire service back to where it should be.

I love our heritage. I love the brass poles, dalmations, shined up boots, riding backwards, washing trucks, sitting around the dinner table talking fire, playing pranks and joking with the guys. That since of pride on my boys face when he tells his friends that his dad is a fireman, and priviledge to put that uniform on in the morning every third day. Your presentation inspires me and takes me back to that feeling I had on day one. Thanks again.

Comment by Michael D. Wilson CFEI, MDI on October 11, 2010 at 7:07am: Chief Lasky,

The Chief and I are looking to create some ownership into our department with a ceremony of promotion or new hired firefighter. We are looking for a "Oath of Office" to be used as the procedure, to build the ownership and the pride into our department. Our Police Department has one the Mayor uses, but am looking for something fire related. Any ideas? Please forward a copy. Thanks!
