from the Crimean War of 1854 today as firefighters perform their duties they Place their lives second to those they protect they are forced to face their own fears and grasps for every ounce of courage to perform the necessary task in front of them The Thin Red Line represents the last ounce of courage firefighters Keep Deep in their blood to conquer their darkest fears to save and protect
