The recent storms did bring one "good" thing our way which was Chris' first opportunity to pump a fire! He finished the pump operator course a while ago, but his station doesn't get many fires. I know it sounds insensitive to celebrate a fire, but this was an old building and no one was hurt. Of course I feel bad for the person who owned the building, but I make myself feel better by convincing myself they got a nice, big check from the insurance company! :)
Of course Chris wanted to show me the building, so we drove down a couple days later to take some pictures.
Chris says now that he has pumped a fire he wants to be the one going in next time. Buuuut I prefer he just mans the pump OUTSIDE of the fire!
Staying outside sounds good to me too!
