Some quotes from a few firefighter web sites and fire forums. If you have any good quotes fire related or not, just post them as a comment. My all time favorite has to be The HazMat green monkey quote. If I’m at a Fire scene or anywhere, and see anything Green, Glowing and running the other way, I plan to be one step behind it. Well, enjoy you TurkeyHeads!!!
