Why is it so wrong to go to the grocery store on-duty?
Good point. Maybe the time of day is determined by their work schedule (daily duties, training, etc.). I’ve never been a big fan of parking in the fire lane unless there is no other option or not doing so delays a response. Thanks for your input. Be safe!

In principle I don't mind firefighters going to the grocery store on-duty, or even drive the engine to the store when they do so. My only problem is how one station does it near where I work. There is a large shopping center with a huge grocery store and several other stores, restaurants, etc. It's…

As a member of the public, I LOVE seeing the firefighters shopping. It gives my husband and me an opportunity (if the men aren't too busy) to tell them how much we appreciate All they do.

I was very pleased to discover this website. I wanted to thank you for your time for this fantastic read!! kffefedgcddeebdd
Thank you! It’s my honor!
Chief Lasky,
I once saw a video you had done for Fire engineering called ” Welcome to the fire service”. As a volunteer Firefighter/AEMT I took that video and ran with it, Just like you suggested in the video..” Take it and run with it”, and ” You can see your future leaders and officers”.. This actually set in and set in very well for me.. I am actually glad I came across that video and now your website.. Once in a while in my department you may get that person who has that chip on their shoulder and or the ” public owes me something”. I play that video for them.. Most if not all the time you can see an immediate turn around. I thank you for enlightening me and helping me grow in my career from your inspiring and truthful words.. I look forward to hearing and viewing more..

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your kind words. That video is from the interviews we have with our new members on their first day. And it works! Sends the right message from the very start. I wish more had that talk with their new firefighters.
Thanks again for the shout out. Hope we cross paths soon.
Be safe brother!!
Chief,
Got to attend training with you at Oldham County, Ky. Great session, very useful info I have taken back to my department. Looking forward to training with you again.
By the way, Pride and Ownership is one of our department’s watch words….thanks for reminding us who we are, why we are here, and why we should be proud of our vocation!
Thanks buddy. Sorry for the delay in responding. Hope to see you again soon. Be safe!
I have been looking to purchase a copy of this audio book that I can download and listen to. Is yhere anywhere that I can dommthis or is it only available as a book or CD? The department I work for has been run into the ground through bitter industrial dispute and political interference. We are trying to dig our way out of a very deep hole and I am looking for inspiration in our traditions. This book sounds like a great place to start.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have them on my website prideandownership.com
