  • Artist Info: Why are firetrucks red?<br />
    Fire Trucks have 8 wheels and carry 4 people;<br />
    4+8=12;<br />
    12 inches in a Ruler,<br />
    Queen Elizabeth was a Ruler,<br />
    Queen Elizabeth was a ship,<br />
    and ships sail the seas,<br />
    and in the sea, there are fish,<br />
    and fish have fins,<br />
    and the Finns fought the Russians,<br />
    and Russians were Red: And Firetrucks are Always Rushin'.<br />

    If Prometheus was worthy of the wrath of heaven for kindling the first fire upon earth, how ought all the gods honor the men who make it their professional business to put it out?  ~John Godfrey Saxe    <br />

    Conquering your own fears? That makes you brave.<br />
    Conquering someone else's fears? That makes you a hero.<br />
    Running into where others run out of? That makes you crazy.<br />
    Why not be all of them and run into fire? - Fire Chief Brian Dunn<br />

    What is a firefighter?<br />
    He's the guy next door....<br />
    He's a guy like you and me with warts and worries and unfulfilled dreams.<br />
    Yet he stands taller than most of us.<br />
    He's a fireman....<br />
    <br />
    A fireman is at once the most fortunate and the least fortunate of men.<br />
    <br />
    He's a man who saves lives because he has seen too much death.    <br />
    <br />
    He's a gentle man because he has seen the awesome power of violence out of control.<br />
    <br />
    He's responsive to a child's laughter because his arms have held too many small bodies that will never laugh again....<br />
    <br />
    He doesn't preach the brotherhood of man.<br />
    He lives it.    <br />
