Pride and
Ownership: The Love for the Job
Ignite Your
Love for the Job
Pride and Ownership
holds no punches. Chief Rick Lasky takes
a hard look at the fire service and
finds it short on the only element that
makes it effective: passion. Chief Lasky
gives an upfront and honest criticism
about the need to reignite the love of
the job on every level, from chiefs on
down.
Do you have what it
takes? Not everyone is cut out for the
fire service. It takes only the best to
serve the public when people need help
most. Pride and Ownership calls for men
and women with honor and integrity to
measure up to the task.
There’s nothing else
in the world like being a firefighter.
Every day Chief Lasky remembers why his
job is the best in the world and he
brings that passion to Pride and
Ownership. Chief Lasky revisits the
proud history and tradition of the fire
service and reflects on the family
values and brotherhood that have made
firefighting a truly family-oriented
vocation.
