One of Randy's favorite quotes is:""My brother received his first leather helmet one day. Another firefighter laughed at him and called it vanity. I ‘spose I must appear to be vane. Maybe I am.

"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,

Chief Eddy Enright on caring for and respecting your guys/company: "Look for their positives. Anyone can pick out the negatives. You do that and the negatives tend to go away. Catch them doing something right. It's easy to catch them doing something wrong."".
