If you ever worked for, or with, Captain Brown you would be able to tell a story about how fair he was to everyone, or how he took the time to teach you something or learn with you to make you both better firefighters, leaders or people. Captain Brown took time with each one of his firefighters or officers getting to know them as employees and human beings. The short time he was on this earth, he made a huge impact. Captain Brown did not ask his men to do something that he would not do and that was When you tried to get the broom, mop, flash light or tool away from him you were going to get a battle. He thrived on making this department the elite and it was contagious if you worked for him.
