“Guys if you get hurt, we’ll help you. If you get sick we’ll treat you. If you want to bitch and moan, then all I can tell you is to flick the sand out of your slit, suck it up or get the hell out!”
- Capt. Marc Cox CFD
Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.
-WINSTON CHURCHILL
Three companies that would have normally been on the 1st alarm assignment were "browned out" that night. The jakes on duty arrived to find nothing showing, then all hell broke loose. People were jumping into the bucket to escape the flames. Numerus rescues were done over ground ladders as well as the aerals
A tip of the leather to my brothers and sisters a half hour up I-495 and the mutual aid companies for a job well done!
"The education of a firefighter and the continued education of a firefighter is what makes "real" firefighters. Continuous skill development is the core of progressive firefighting. We learn by doing and doing it again and again, both on the training ground and the fireground."
Lt. Ray McCormack, FDNY
