"Firemen are going to get killed. When they join the department they face that fact. When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work. Firemen do not regard themselves as heroes because they do that the buisness requires"
Chief of Department Edward F. Crocker FDNY
