Where there's smoke, there's fire. Where there are firemen and women and hoses and water, there's confusion...
This was a "new guy" training session on the back lot of the Avenue D Fire Station. I was the one confused. The Instructor suggested I move back because I was sitting too close. I sat down on the sidewalk leaning against the lamp pole at a distance I thought was far enough. As soon as I moved they started dragging out and dropping hose, all the way up to where I had been sitting.
Note: see the light pole where I was sitting and my bicycle further right where I put it "so it was way beyond where they would be working." (wrong Mr Wetbutt)
