What Is A Firefighter? He's the guy next door - a man with the memory of a little boy. He has never gotten over the excitement of engines and sirens and danger. He's a guy like you and me with warts and worries and unfulfilles dreams. Yet he stands taller than most of us. He puts it all on the lie when the bell rings. A fireman is at once the most fortunate and least fortunate of men. He's a man who saves lives because he has seen too much death. He's a gentle man because he has seen the awesome power of violence out of control. He's responsive to a child's laughter because his arms have held too many small bobies that will never laugh again. He's a man who appreciates the simple pleasures of life- hot coffee held in numb, unbending fingers-awarm bed for bone and muscle compelled beyond feeling-the camaraderie of brave men- the divine peace and selfless service of a job well done in the name of all men. He doesn't wear buttons or wave flags or shout obscenities. When he marches, it is to honor a fallen comrade. He doesn't preach the brotherhood of men. HE LIVES IT. ----------------------------------------------------------------- SOMTIMES Lights flash, sirens blare into the deep, dark air. EOA,AED, Life saving equipment againet death, Even for the guy that ODed on meth. Saving lives is what we do, Our hearts are in their place, our care is true.

Additional Information:
If you're looking for a hero, a role model, you don't have to look very far. You see, a hero isn't someone who hits home runs or scores touchdowns in front of thousands of cheering fans. A hero is an average citizen who does something extraordinary to help someone else in need. A hero is a firefighter who runs into a burning building, never thinking of himself. And if you want to find one of these heroes, all you have to do is look next-door at your neighbor or your uncle. Or across the breakfast table at your own dad. -The Honorable Raymond Mariano, Mayor of Worcester, Massachusetts -Worcester Fallen Firefighters' Memorial Service, December 9, 1999
