Fireman Shaun!

Canadian Courtship Ritual

Mr R is now a fully qualified firefighter for our local area of Carr's Landing and just passed his exam to drive 2 of the fire trucks! Luckily there are not many call outs but so far this year there have a been a couple of health emergencies call outs, a chimney fire (where Mr R was first on the scene and it was his first call out - the homeowner was fine until the rest of the crew turned up and started ribbing him as the newbie...given Mr R was balanced on top of the guy's roof with a high pressure hose, this was perhaps more information than the guy needed as his chimney blazed away!).

You too can look like a giant fly!

The 'best' one so far has been a car fire up on the hill when a guy's engine suddenly exploded into flames! He managed to get out okay and called 911 so 'da boys' sprung into action, car extinguished, and a very pumped Mr R returned all smoky....in uniform....ladies, I shall leave it there......
