Wake Up! It's Time to Fight Fire



Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock........4:00 am. I awoke as low tones could be heard over the radio, and then suddenly, the BELL RINGS....Wake Up!....It's time to fight fire. Well no, that's not what the dispatcher said but something like that. In minutes we were racing at forty mph in the Engine approaching a large plume of smoke glowing in the dark. Arriving on scene, there before lay a house fully engulfed in flames. It was time for action!
Minutes ago I was dreaming, minutes later I'm fighting fire. What a thrill!

Now can I go back to bed?

  1. Wesley, it is soooo cool to see a picture of you in action! Wow! Quite the accomplishment and difference in the two pictures. The first picture with those big flames and you holding the hose to the second picture and you calmly surveying the situation. You are amazing. :)
