Seth- What, no IA for this one?

I take it that was formerly a dumpster? Or perhaps a Goodwill container? Just a guess...

That's the nice part about being off duty. I could just observe and take photos, with no responsibilty, unless they want to make a phone call to me, which would result in me being on duty and being able to buy more holiday presents.

And it's Group 1/3. The coffee in the morning is always hot, fresh, and plentiful with them. Thye have their own special blends, they don't just drink plain coffee. These guys don't mess around! I do live next to a Dunkin Donuts, so I supposed I could've though...but then I would have had to walk all the way home and all the way back again.

They didnt have to go very far for this fire. I understand it was brought right to the front door of the station. makes for a short run easy on the apparatus and a short hose stretch. aint life grand
