What Defines You?
It’s not the uniform, rank or helmet color that defines a person; it’s what you do that defines who you are.
We must have the fortitude and courage to be both safety conscious and measured in the performance of our sworn duties while maintaining the appropriate balance of risk and bravery. The demands and requirements of modern firefighting will continue to require the placement of personnel within situations and buildings that carry risk, uncertainty and inherent danger. How and what you do, accept or disregard reflects highly upon you.
What defines you; as a firefighter, an officer or commander? Where and how do you fit in?
