It's always great to get word that you've been picked up for another season, ... We're really hitting our stride and have great story lines already mapped out for next year.

I don't think they have an issue in the marketplace. Operationally, they're hitting their stride ... but this is a stock that has to trade on more near-term earnings.

Having dealt with a lot of real firefighters, I know there are a lot of guys who, for lack of a better term, become addicted to the grief because it has kept them connected to these guys that they felt responsible for having lost.

Firefighters don't go on strike.

What firefighters and people in our military and cops do is separate from what the rest of us do; basically these people say, 'I'm going to protect all these strangers.'

It would be great if firefighters across the country had the guarantee that they would be making enough money to support their family right from the get-go, but that's not the case.
