About this listen

Pride & Ownership holds no punches. Chief Rick Lasky takes a hard look at the fire service and finds it short on the only element that makes it effective: passion. Chief Lasky gives an upfront and honest criticism about the need to reignite the love of the job on every level, from chiefs and on down.

Do you have what it takes?

Not everyone is cut out for the fire service. It takes only the best to serve the public when people need help most. Pride and Ownership calls for men and women with honor and integrity to measure up to the task.

There's nothing else in the world like being a firefighter. Every day, Chief Lasky remembers why his job is the best in the world, and he brings that passion to Pride & Ownership. Lasky revisits the proud history and tradition of the fire service and reflects on the family values and brotherhood that have made firefighting a truly family-oriented vocation.

Pride and ownership

Rick Lasky very aptly and throughly defines what it means to have pride and ownership of our job and inspires me to be a “leader” in this great service. Thank you Rick!

A must read for every member of our profession!

Nothing more needs to be said. This book is the equivalent of a timeless ‘Mic-drop’ that carries as much pride as it does ownership. Get after it or get out!

A must read for anyone in fire services

This should be a required read to wear the badge. Pride and ownership is a must in our profession and a standard that can’t nor should it be negotiated.

A must read/listen for any fireman

I had been wanting to read Pride & Ownership for a few years now but never could make myself spend the money. However when I saw that it was here and narrated by the author I couldn't pass it up. It truly is a must read for anyone in the fire service no matter rank or experience. I will definitely be listening again.

must read

As I've moved on to a larger department, I'm glad I left my first smaller one with pride and better than I found it.

Easy Listen

This book was easy to fall into and had a lot of information in it. I’m recommending it to my LT and some of the younger firefighters in my department.

What a great listen

Thanks for the fresh perspective on the brotherhood. As a newer firefighter with only 7 years on I came on with stories from my dad about a brotherhood. When I got to the station all I saw were a bunch of individuals with the same shirt. After this book I will strive to recreate to the best of my ability what my father and you experienced as a brotherhood.

Ricky Lasky reading his own book

it is great that Ricky Lasky read his own book because you can feel his beliefs in the material.
