Quotes by Andrew Serra  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Since firemen were first organized into a paid department in the nineteenth century, there has been a heartfelt tradition that should one of our own be killed at a fire or collapse, he or she will not be left behind. We will do what it takes to bring our fallen brother or sister home.”
Andrew Serra, Finding John

“Firehouse culture is a powerful force. Long held traditions are passed down from one generation to the next, and there is a great deal of peer pressure to fall in line. One deeply felt tradition is that responding to someone’s emergency is a sacred trust. We respond to people’s homes often when they are at their most vulnerable state and we pride ourselves in doing it faithfully.”
Andrew Serra, Finding John
