!['“I am a Firefighter"
I am neither a Hero...
nor Superhero.
I can be burnt by fire
and smoke can overcome me.
I can be exhausted by heat
and frozen by cold.
I can be trapped by collapse
and fall from heights.
I may sustain serious injury,
and might even make the "ultimate sacrifice" for you.
I will suffer all of these…
if you need me.
I hope we never meet, but if we do,
I will never leave you!
I have worked and trained hard and earned this,
the proudest of titles...
I am a Firefighter.

!['"8 Traits Great Firefighters Share"
By: David Soler
After years of study and interviewing literally hundreds of great firefighters, leaders and thought leaders in the fire service, here are the top eight characteristics of the "Best of the best", from the “World's Bravest”:
Firefighters who become great firefighters practice these characteristics…
1. They expect success
2. They have a clear plan
3. They work hard
4. They are teachable and a life-long students
5. They exercise self-control, persistence and delayed gratification
6. They are accountable
7. They surround themselves with great firefighters
8. They appreciate the past and the present
Join in making the fire service better by reminding yourself of these characteristics you already posses and incorporating the ones you need to.
It starts with you... and me.
Let's be the change we want to see in the fire service.
Let's be the example of how to be a great firefighter and leader.

It is with much sadness and regret to inform the Brotherhood of yet another LODD... Brother Barry Miller, EMT/Firefighter with Bergen Volunteer Fire Department, Bergen, NY
It has been said that for his entire adult life, Barry Miller was a giver and “a huge figure in the town of Bergen.”
Barry was a multi-decade member of the department, Chief of Fire Department Emergency Medical Services and a County Coroner.
