Every firehouse has moments where someone says,
“It’s not that big of a deal.”
That is exactly how standards die.
The things we ignore today become accepted tomorrow.
The shortcuts we excuse become habits.
And the behavior we tolerate eventually becomes the culture we are known for.
Strong firehouses are not built because everything is perfect.
They are built because somebody cared enough to correct problems before they became normal.
