Finding John Quotes

“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
