Chief Lasky has the nailed it. You were called to this job or you're a mutt and need to work somewhere else. Thank you for pointing out this job takes not only skill but integrity, honor and pride. Amen
Inspiring February 23, 2008
I had the opportunity to attend a seminar by the author which prompted me to buy the book. This contains much of what was in the seminar and has really inspired me to reach for the next level of pride and professionalism in my career as a firefighter. This is a must have for anyone serious about the fire service. Extremely helpful ideas on how to make the most of the greatest job in the world!

If you are a Firefighter get this book. Or better yet attend one of Chief Lasky's seminars. If you are a Chief Officer get it, read it, and LIVE IT!
 Pride & Ownership June 8, 2007
I bought this book for my son, a firefighter. He is not a big reader but read this cover to cover and LOVED it. He hopes to implement some of the positive ideas at the station where he works.
 Good subject material, poorly written. May 14, 2007
the author had a lot of great things to say. I tried to reference his material for a college term paper. He was difficult to quote becuase his writing was choppy. I did however like what he had to say, i just had to paraphrase quite a bit.
