"Treat your body as if it were the most precious firefighting tool on the engine--because it is. Without you, all the tools on the fire engine are completely useless. The only tool more valuable for fighting fires than your body is your brain."

This was written to me by the man who used to be my department's Training Officer. I don't know if he got it from somewhere or wrote it himself, but I wanted to pass it on.

Be safe.

I agree with you 100 %, just this morning a was working out at the station...P.T, and my BC and i were talking about just this very thing, he also stated not to be lazy...always check your SCBA in the morning, you never know when it's not going to work...I.E. the regulator , I'm A Probie and his advise was directed at a long and successful career.


Thank you for sharing your advise...it's definitely a good one.
