The news never quits especially on holidays. What should have been a low key day turned into stressful day. It is a 4th tradition to barbeque and the rumor is that the grill got out of hand. It later turned out to be fireworks shot off by some kids.
It was hot! 3 firefighters were hurt because of burns and 2 had heat exhaustion. My station even had a photographer pass out. The more I have done this the less I care about how geeky I look. That is why I wear a wide brimmed hat...I am a pale white guy and I need all the protection I can get.
The apartment complex where the fire happened is supposed to maintain their fire hydrants. The fire department had a problem with the water pressure and had to tear down a fence to get to another line. They got that fence down fast.
