Comment by Steve Koning on May 10, 2009 at 11:10am - I am looking for a little direction. In Dennis Smith's "Report from Engine Company 82" he mentions the term 'first whip'. This got my brain going. I am looking for ways to help some of our guys get fired up a little and cool titles might be a little way to get em going. Anybody know any more of these cool monickers that come from the old days of wooden hydrants?

Comment by Jim Vejvoda on February 2, 2009 at 8:08pm - Chief, I have read your book twice now and had the priveledge to see you speak a couple years ago in Hanover Park IL and you actually taught my Instructor I class years ago in North Aurora with Chief Enright. Your book is excellent and I try to instill on myself and my guys daily the pride and tradition in this job. Now if I can get my Chief to have some pride in us we will be doing great. Thanks for the wisdome. This is the greatest job in the world.

Comment by Scott Mensing on January 26, 2009 at 5:24pm - How about "Leave the job a little bit better then when you started". "We are our brothers keeper"," There are two shifts in the fire service, (insert shift) and everyone who wants to be on (insert shift)".
