One of Kevin's favorite quotes is:""The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe." - John Walter Wayland

Anyone can ride a fire engine, blow the siren and even "dress up" in some bunker gear... But it is TRAINING that helps turn that "anyone" into a FIREFIGHTER who actually HAS a clue, on what to actually DO, for the civilians, themselves and for their Brothers and Sisters.
" It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate." -President Obama
I have no ambition in this world but one,
And that is to be a fireman.
The position may,
In the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one;
but those who know the work, which a fireman
has to do believe his is a Nobel calling.
Our proudest moment is to save... lives.
Under the impulse of such thoughts
the nobility of the occupation thrills us
and stimulates us to deeds of daring,
even of supreme sacrifice.
