Drawn by Fire: Firehouse Grinch

Firehouse grinch

To paraphrase the great Dr. Suess

“He puzzled and puzzed till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.

Maybe Brotherhood, he thought, doesn’t come from firehouse lore.
Maybe Brotherhood, perhaps, means a little bit more!

And what happened then? Well, in Whoville FD they say
That the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day!

And then the true meaning of Brotherhood came through,
And the Grinch found the strength of ten Grinches, plus two!”

Every firehouse has its Grinch. It’s up to you whether you listen. You have the power to set the positive standard of true brotherhood and sisterhood.

STAY FIRED UP, and sing your passion for the fire service to the highest!

Have a happy and safe holiday season, brothers and sisters.
