Missy and I were watching a nice Dirty Harry movie a couple of weeks ago about midnight, while it was storming and raining outside…the last nice night I was able to shut the ac off and open the windows…when the fire tones interrupted my reverie and the dispatcher announced a car on fire near a residence and the address was only two blocks behind my house…so we got up and headed that way…I pulled in behind a Sullivan police officer and discovered not one car, but two, on fire in a driveway near the residence…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Fully<\/a><\/p>\n

..and waited with the police officer for our fire truck and crew to arrive, as it stormed and rained…while I had a fire extinguisher in the truck, I decided it wasnt enough to handle this and tires were exploding right and left while we waited…a few minutes later Pumper 854 turned the corner….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"854<\/a><\/p>\n

..and approached…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"854<\/a><\/p>\n

…and pulled up in front…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"854<\/a><\/p>\n

..and arrived….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"On<\/a><\/p>\n

..and the guys started pulling the preconnect…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"On<\/a><\/p>\n

..and stretching the hoseline…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Stretching<\/a><\/p>\n

..and then Mike, on the hoseline, waits for Cody to charge the line…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/a><\/p>\n

..and waits…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/a><\/p>\n

..and then Mike starts his attack…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/a><\/p>\n

and joined by Nolan, they approach with caution as tires are still exploding…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/a><\/p>\n

..and pretty soon, the heavy fire is knocked down…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Getting<\/a><\/p>\n

and firefighters are in control of the scene…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Fire<\/a><\/p>\n

..it was a good thing, neither car was parked closer to the residence or side by side in the driveway or we probably would have had a house on fire in addition to the cars.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
