Fire and food

Last night our fire department had the opportunity to burn down an old barn for training purposes. They managed to have a lot of fun while learning a few things. The "probie" (a.k.a. the newest recruit) ended up in the water. Nothing says "welcome to the department" like getting doused in full turn-out gear.

Our local fire department is growing, to the point where they need a new fire station. So this Saturday, July 25 from 4-8 pm they're having a BBQ fundraiser and all proceeds will go toward the fire station fund. Great food. Plans for the new station. Tours of the fire trucks. Did I mention really, really good food?
