I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman
the position may,in the eyes of some,appear to be a lowly one
But we who know the work which a fireman has to do believe
his is a noble calling
our proudest moment is to save ...lives
under the impulse of such thoughts
the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring
even of SUPREME SACRIFICE.
