What's the difference between a good firefighter from a a great one? It's not
00:00:02
an individual thing. There are things that happen that someone puts their neck out on on their own, but it's always
00:00:08
someone behind you. Even that go back to the tanker fire and when Roy went under
00:00:12
the tanker, [music] there was dozen guys involved in it looking out making sure that he get in
00:00:16
and do that job and everyone was doing their thing. You know? I vaguely remember that story. At Manukau, right?
00:00:21
That Ramos ended it. 12-year-old Shirley Young was trapped beneath the burning wreckage of a tanker truck when she was
00:00:26
spotted by firefighter Roy Kennedy. Roy took off. Was heading straight into the fire. Her limbs have been broken and
00:00:34
doubled back. She was really scared. So was I. Firefighters were racing, but they
00:00:40
didn't back off. They just stood their ground. But like I said, there's a a lot
00:00:44
more behind [music] those things than just that usually that one person, you know? And I don't think
00:00:49
that any of the rescues that happen with the service, there's always someone else
00:00:53
doing something [music] and it's just you're that guy that takes the grab or
00:00:56
you're that guy that does the job. Yeah, it's definitely more a a team sport
00:00:59
[music] than an individual rock star attention sort of thing, isn't it? Yeah,
00:01:03
everyone around that's doing the job. It's not just the guy inside, you know?
