Vaseline: "What did I say?!"

• Series 2

Station Officer Tate: "Now look! You might be a senior officer, but you are inept! We ain't got time to play it by the book!"
ADO Scase: "You're risking the lives of the crews!"
Station Officer Tate: "The crews are prepared to take their chance! What they're not prepared to do is stand about like a load of ponces, waiting for some nutcase of a tinpot dictator who's too bl***y busy making paperwork, and too bl***y high and mighty, to get stuck in and get himself dirty!"

• Series 4

Bayleaf: "Thats my seat Guv... Well I generally sit there, Guv at the top end!"
Station Officer Georgiadis: "You sit there Bayleaf! Don't worry! I don't go for top table arrangements! We're a fire station not an Oxford college!"

Geoffery Pearce: "The point is, who is going to cook the lunch? Anyone got Bayleaf's number...?!"
