Fire Department Traditions

 When we hear the word tradition it brings to mind many things. Arguably, probably every one of us is touched by at least one tradition. Many are family oriented, such as how we celebrate a Holiday, the annual family reunion cookout, or how we are taught to treat others – these are all examples of traditions. In the fire service we have many traditions as well. From the first moment a new cadet (rookie or "probie") is taken into the department “family” they are introduced to fire service traditions.
