SMFD CLASS OF 2010
Firefighter Code of Ethics
I will uphold the standards of my profession, continually search for new and improved methods and share my knowledge and skills with my contemporaries and descendants.
I will never allow personal feelings, nor danger to self, deter me from my responsibilities as a firefighter.
I will at all times, respect the property and rights of all men and women, the laws of my community and my country, and the chosen way of life of my fellow citizens.
I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of the fire service. I will constantly strive to achieve the objectives and ideals, dedicating myself to my chosen profession--saving of life, fire prevention and fire suppression.
As a member of the International Association of Fire Fighters, I accept this self-imposed and self-enforced obligation as my responsibility."

LAYLA LANE
Perhaps this is due to the unique influence of both classical music and rock implemented into each recording. Or perhaps it is the depth and emotion in the melodies that come spilling out to the listener, stemming from precise efforts to place each note in its proper place. Whatever it may be, the result is a crystal-clear sort of pop that brings listeners back to what was and forward to what may be.
