FIREFIGHTERS ROCK !

Have you hugged a fireman today?
Because they definately earn their pay.
If our town did not have them around,
then everything would burn to the ground.
So I take my hat off to them with pride,
if only they would take me on a free ride...

"Hi Frank, don't want hold you up, just saw you and wanted to say hello.... what's shaking?"

Frank says, "I just finished a call and I was heading back to the station. What's up with you my friend?

Johnny replies, "Well, I just returned from a fun Mother's Day Party at McDonald's Gardens. I saw some neat roses, you know they ought to make an air freshner out of them and then another one with the smell of bacon."

"Ha ha ha, yeah that is funny. Well do you have a joke for me like you usually do?"

Johnny grins, "As I matter of fact I do... got one about firefighters."

"That's great, ok tell me dude, then I need to get back to the station."

"A man who works at a fire hydrant factory was always late for work. When confronted by his boss the man explained in a straight face, 'You can't find a spot to park anywhere around this goofy place with all those hydrants out on the street.' ....ha,ha,ha!"

"Hey Jeff, tell me before you leave what kind of call have you been on?"

"We were able to successfully rescue another cat from a towering tree, but the thing is it took four fireman to do it. Since I was the one that devised the plan to get Miss Helen Crump's cat out of her tree, Chief Donald Duck is going to award me a medal."

We got all the gauges and valves done with that fancy chrome. We got our piercing tipped device and hose to penetrate through a ceiling as a last resort to put out a fire. Yeah, our fire department is equipped with the most most state of the art Rambo-like tools to keep everyone and one's property safe from the fierce and relentless force of fire. However, we're still hoping to get an automatic truck washing machine!

I am proud to know that we have the best looking firetrucks that your tax dollars pay for and we thank you for that because we sure like to show off our firetruck with the muti-colored paint job.

Hey Blaze, you're a good mascot, do you want to go on a ride to deliver some smoke detectors and fire extinguishers that some of Smokey the Bear's friends need for their cozy caves?

Fire Station Mascot Named: BLAZE
He's our best friend, whom not only fetches,
but slides down the pole good,
but his real talent is roasting hotdogs at a fire.

Come on kids, let's ride over to Smokey The Bear's place with Blaze and learn about what to do in case of a fire. He is watching his campfire safely, so let's roast some marshmallows. Yippee!

SUFFOCATING SORROW


The firefighters do their tough job so willingly, despite having to face so much tragedy and adversity.

Their coats and boots sit in silence as the amplified alarm alerts firefighters to a chaotic call.

Off they go to a smokey sky, battling a blaze of heated light, stopping the sorrow for us all.
