A mutt is someone or thing that will abuse and mistreat a Fire Fighter. This can be the City, the Mayor, the Chief in charge, the habitual caller, or the homeless person who starts a fire and leaves.
These are people that have never crawled down a hall or made it to the last room in an effort to do their job. If they can't get the job done today well maybe next week will do.
If we don't get the job done people might die and/or our Brothers and Sisters might also so die.
So we always lay it on the line and leave a little behind at every fire. I can say that in a dark smoky hallway, I can't tell the race, creed or sex of my fellow Fire Fighter, I just know that they are with me, and they have my back. I don't care who or what you are as long as you are a Fire Fighter and want to protect your Brothers and Sisters.
Leather Forever, Stay Low and Let It Blow!
