This evening about 6 pm Steves pager went off and the call was for a fully involved structure fire. Unfortunately for those that lost their home- this was a firefighters dream! Especially those that see about one structure fire a year. Thankfully no one was hurt!
When he got back he was soaking wet. It looked like he had dumped the cooler of water over his head. His pants were wet all the way through. I asked him if he hosed himself down and he informed me that it was sweat! I couldn't believe it! He said that about half way through the fire all the guys were laying on the cement and the fire was still raging. They were so hot and exhausted that they couldn't do anything. Finally they called in Washington City to assist. I think that it was about 105 degrees today.
When I was about 16 or 17 and a lifeguard I used to drool over the firefighters who would come over to the pool to teach us CPR or just drive by. I am serious they were so cute and I remember barely being able to talk when they were around! Who knew that one day I would be married to one of those cute, sexy, heroic firemen! (Not one I lusted over just one that decided later in his life that he wanted to be a fireman.)
By the way, I went for a bike ride with the boys today and I fell off the bike. Tyler said, "See, I told you that you couldnt ride a bike." No worries--I am just fine but a bit embarrassed!
