Oh yes they serve and protect us in so many ways and their job is so demanding. <br />I remember Smokey Bear and how nice you still have your badge to proveitl<br /> I was moved to learn last week that most all children in the city schools have been taught fire safety, and they can recite what to do in case of a fire, Stop, Drop, and Roll.Angela FlowersMoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02004676904380311676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3158762698015164140.post-43242011234681357312012-06-26T13:39:28.516-05:002012-06-26T13:39:28.516-05:00I have so many heart-warming fire stories as well ...I have so many heart-warming fire stories as well as my biggest pet peeve--seeing someone throw a cigarette butt out the car window.<br />I've called on them so many times and they come with a smile.<br /> We take our animals to the station for shots, the kids stop by after school to say hello, we take them homemade cookies, we join in their recreation, we watch them wash the fire engines, and on and on. And they tell us call us anytime, we don't want you fighting fires, that's our job.<br />I enjoyed reading your fire story.Angela FlowersMoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02004676904380311676noreply@blogger.com
