In my many years as a FireFighter ... I've been to many an Oh:dark:Thirty fire call ...
and noticed that most folks aren't always "dressed for company" when we arrive!

A MOST "memorable" call ...

We were toned out for an "Occupied House Fire" about 2:00 AM ...
I passed Unka Pat's house as he pulled out in his "Plumber's Mobile" - a RED
company pickup with a RED tool box body and an overhead rack with
a ladder and some pipe tied on.

First Engine had checked in, so Pat & I "went direct" to mark the driveway and
check on the occupants ... I parked off the drive at the road and suited up.
Pat pulled in, drove closer to the house, and pulled into the yard.

Front door was locked, so I came back towards Pat to check the attached garage
for a entry point ... when the Lady of the House appeared through the smoke
filling the garage with two kids and the family dog in tow.

ALL she saw was Pat suiting up beside his RED "Plumber's Mobile" ...

"THAT'S no ("freakin") FIRE TRUCK!!!
I called for a FIRE truck!!!! ... WHERE'S the FIRE Trucks!???"

Pat isn't one to be at a loss for words, so I wondered why he just sort of stood there,
mouth agape, listening to her tirade.

I hollered "PAT! Ask her if EVERYone is out of the house!"

She heard that, spun around towards ME, and and again stated the obvious -
"That's no *&*!#$!@* FIRE Truck!! - WHERE'S your *%$!* FIRE Trucks???!"




OMG!!
I quickly understood why Pat was at a loss for words!
"Mom" was a GOOD Lookin Babe -
who apparently liked to sleep Lightly clad!

Cuz there she stood - almost in the BUFF!!
Granted, she HAD slipped into a FLIMSY robe - she just hadn't *BUTTONED* it!

I though to myself "I'd LOVE to stay and chat ... but I better get a plan together
for when my "*$#!*&#" Fire Trucks start to pull in!"

We made a good "stop" on the fire (wood burner in the basement overheated
and burnt a good size hole in the main floor), but I kept wondering where
all my Fiur Guyz were???
Answer: "Chatting" with the Lady of the House out in the driveway!

Pat STILL likes to tell that Fiur Tail!!
