Safe Neighborhoods and Everybody Loves the Fireman

Royal Oak Fire Department Truck Company 9-12

 We wouldn't have safe neighborhoods without Firefighters and at the Royal Oak Safe Neighborhoods event...Everybody Loved the Firemen. They were giving out fire hats and let you climb up in the truck, so what's not to like.

    I can still hear my NY State Court Officer Academy instructor telling us, "If you want to be loved be a Fireman.  Everybody loves the Fireman because he comes to your house and puts the fire out, he rescues your cat in the tree.  Nobody loves the Policeman because he tells you what to do."  Yea, I love the Firemen too, they do a great job.  When I was at the NY State Police Academy they took us out to where they train Firefighters and they walked us through the house they did their training on.  It was smokey , dark and hot inside the house and it gave me a deep respect for the job Firemen do.  I think it takes a lot of courage to go  into a burning building, especially carrying all that heavy equipment.  Thank you Royal Oak Fire Department for all you do.
