I'm glad no one got hurt! That's one thing that scares the you know what out of me. I'm not big on fires at all and am thankful for the guys that fight them every day.

Well, I would have to agree with you on the fear factor in both jobs. I have the same feeling about those in my profession who say they aren't scared. Don't believe them for a minute and don't want them by my side when the stuff hits the fan.

One thing is certain though, both of us have seen things from the public service point of view and it's not always pretty!

Sometime when I have time ..I will tell you about a medical call I went on years ago

Walked through the front door and was blown away with Blood all over the walls..

Call was Kidney Stones...I have to go but when I finish telling you about that call it turned out kinda funny..Even though we had 1/2 of the State Troopers from the State show up..

I can't wait to hear it! One of my new guys got broken in a couple of months ago on a DOA that had been in his apartment for about two weeks.
