We are........

We are committed to the job of firefighting

We are the ones who dreamed of being a firefighter

We are the ones who bring passion to our work

We are the believers in the traditions of the fire service

We are the ones who take pride in our job, our tools, our actions and our department

We are the ones who show enthusiasm for the job

We are often the first to act the last to quit

We are the ones who work with injuries

We are the ones who work sick

We are the ones who look forward to coming into work and can’t wait to come back when we left

We are the ones who are serious about our commitment to the community we serve

We are serious about our education and often look outside the walls of our department for opportunities to better ourselves

We are often spending our own time and money to better ourselves

We are the ones who toil effortlessly to bring new ideas to a stale environment

We are the ones who mentor the next generation of firefighters

We are the ones who want to see our organizations succeed

We are the ones that want to see positive change

We are often the ones who make the difference between a close call and a NIOSH report

We are the ones who make YOU look good

We are NOT the problem.  The problem lies in the reflection you get when you look in the mirror.
