EGH

"Although 'EGH, Everybody Goes Home' is not always possible, it is part of what we strive for. It is why we train, it is why we read, it is why we interact with each other. We need to share the knowledge. The more we share, the more we pass on what we have learned, the safer we will be. The fewer funerals we will have to go to, the more of our Brothers and Sisters that will go home. Because it is all about protecting each other".

"The Fire service, as a whole, is collectively still trying to recover from the effects of Sept. 11. The 343 members of the FDNY who made the supreme sacrifice that day will always be in our hearts and forever on our minds. As part of our FOOL’s “signature”, R-F- B, “Remember Fallen Brothers”, these heroes should never and will never be forgotten. This should also include ALL of our fallen Brothers, no matter where they were from, or the matter in which they died. Their names have been added to long list of those that have laid down their lives so that others may live."

"With everything going on in our lives, both personnel and professional, this may be sometimes hard to do. We are always pulled in several directions when there are tough decisions to be made. Even after weighting all the possibilities or options, decisions are sometimes still very hard to make. But, under closer examination, there usually is a “right thing”. It may take personnel sacrifice, it may not be what you really would want to do, but it is the correct thing to do." 

BROTHERHOOD

Bonds that even death can’t separate. 
Responding on all sorts of calls, some good and some bad. 
On every fire we trust each other with our lives. 
Trust that if we fall on the fire ground our brothers will be there to rescue us. 
Humor is at every firehouse and is a big part of the job. 
Every firehouse you go to, you will see your brothers in every firefighter you meet. 
Remembering the pranks you have pulled on a “probie”. 
How great it is to have a home away from home. 
Off the job we are still family. 
Our families are close. 
Days, months, and even years will pass but don’t fret for we will meet again.
