What makes a good...

[Billy Lewis]

While on duty today I had a interesting question asked of me. In the Firehouse today we had a city intern riding along who asked "What makes a good Fireman".
At first I thought the question was pretty easy to answer, yet after some thought and trying to make a impression on this young man, I realized there was a lot more to this question then meet the eye ( or ear ). So my question to you is simple. "What makes a good Fireman?"

Attitude, experience, physical fitness...

Listening............and then using and passing on the information to the next guy or gal....... and so on and so on. We all learned from someone on what makes a good fireman.

I think the biggest thing that makes a good fireman is passion. Passion for the job. Without it you are nothing more than a number. A body to fill a seat. If you have passion for the job, everything else comes. You will train, you will spread the word, you will do what is right.

Without passion, you got nothing.
