11/22/07 Thanksgiving Day Apt. Fire

Yes......some of us firefighters & police do have to "Work" on Thanksgiving Day. The following pictures were taken from a fire, me and my crew had at approx. 3pm Thanksgiving Day.

Oh did I mention that it was right after we ate a huge meal then had to fight a fire - Holy PUKE.....ha ha ha

No one was hurt and the family was not home at the time when it started, but did loose everything. We made a great stop - preventing the fire from spreading into other apts. No fireman were hurt and I had the great job of driving that day so it means that I was the engineer (pumper). So I got all the boring stuff but still an important job - I froze my ass off. The life of a fireman, working 12 hrs on holidays and puking from eating to much right before a holiday meal - I LOVE IT.

Hope everybody had a good holiday
