A Man told me...

That someone once told their wife that he was attending a week long sprinkler course out of state. Turns out there was no sprinkler course and he was um... "not alone". The good thing was that it was not a complete lie. He did go out of state... to Hawaii.

A firefighter told me he knew how to put up the aeriel ... he lied.

And another told me they could get water... she lied.

Yes, it is true... the Amigo's incident.

No, it is not true... I did not cheat on the promotional exams.

Yes, I do work when I am on duty. Regardless of what Smitty says, my work is always done first.

On my down time the hockey stuff comes out. I will never admit this to him though, because it is more fun for me to have him rat me out to the Deputy than it is for me to tell the truth.
Yes, I still enjoy working with him.

Did you know the rink was sprinklered? OK, then where is the connection?

That a firefighter once mistook Ladder26 for Engine 21 while going to a run. Well, he is right they do look alike. Both are red.

Yes, sometimes when the bell rings we do amazing things. Then we think about what we did, and call ourselves fools.

Yes, sometimes when the bell rings we do foolish things. Then the public says, we are heroes. That makes us both fools.

Kinda like this blog... the more we listen to fools, the more foolish we become.

That Firefighter Chotkowski doesn't need a spoon to stir his coffee.

That President Bush's library has a lot of open rooms.

Yes, it is true. Someone backed their truck into (through a wall a tad) a new garage once.

Did you know that if you park L26 at a fire for over 3 hours and leave it in neutral w/o the parking park, that it just may not roll... and this is also true for C28. But... not for A39, something about the pitch of King Street.

C28's seat is not the original.

Someone called in sick when they were on vacation.

Another came into work on his day off.

Ever get the feeling you were driving down the wrong road?

Ok.. it is true also that the Headquaters Daily Training sheet is fudged because sometimes we don't have time to train. 'Naff said about that...

The SARF police really are not the Police.

If your car is iced over in the winter one night continuously, see Smitty.

Did the Hulk really work for Domino's?

And, who really stole his lobster?

B15 would make it over a swamp patch if you drove fast... he was wrong.

C28 needed a new wax job... and side door.

Capt. the sprinkler connection to the rink is on side C. You need to get too it via parking lot of the Amvets.

A guy thought he could make the fire go out by continuously talking on the radio

Must be either a drinker from Amvets, or a hockey fan...

My mother taught Me not to air my dirty laundry in a public place

Hey, if you laundry sticks.. air it our anywhere. Be a professiona, not a guy with a Union sticker on his car calling himself a professional. Mamma will always protect you.

A man told me where to park, OK

OK... as long as you know where to park to best manage the scene.

The great thing about Capt. Blog's rantings is that it is date and time stamped. So, eventually they'll see where your time is spent. Pretty neat...
