Ask A Firefighter What are some good ol' quotes you guys hear that would be good on a t-shirt?

Just a few rushed off the top of my head, lemme hear some slogans you guys hear round the house. Humorous, serious, sarcastic, let em fly..

"Wet stuff on the hot stuff"

"A bird bath is all you need if you do it right"

"Embrace the chaos"

"Chief said so.."

"You revert to the level to your training"

"I'll do it next shift"

"Hardest decision of everyday is what's for lunch"

Chief officer of volunteer department next county over has on his tailgate:

“I wish my eyes could forget what my mind has seen.”

Not knocking vollies ( I’m on a career department and a volunteer dept) but first time I read it almost gave me a stroke

All of these may as well say “first one in , last one out”. All those shirt are just an embarrassment to the fire service.

Hate to be the one to say it, these are all awful. You know that joke that goes: how can you tell if a guy is a firefighter? He’ll tell you.

These shirts would just embrace the douchey stereotype.

Ask 10 FFs their opinion and you’ll get 11 opinions.

Leave 10 FFs alone in a room with 2 hose clamps and when you return, one clamp is missing and the other is broken and no one now’s what happened to either.

Ok Plan A didn’t work, so now we’re going to try Plan A harder
