Their younger, their students, their seeking a full time career in the fire service, that's their chosen field of endeavor.

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

The ultimate beneficiaries are the students. Any time you can mix service and learning together, it's a good thing. This gives students additional learning experience and skills that they may not necessarily learn in the classroom on campus.

I just don't believe in the basic concept that someone should make their whole career in public service.

I wish I had time to take you all on field trips.

Fire departments across the State of Maine provide an essential and irreplaceable service to our communities,
