This is who you don’t want to respond when you call 911:
Although I carry enough crap in that purse you see there to knock out a window to rescue a cat, or a houseplant, or something else very light that I could actually lift with my weak girly muscles and carry half-safely out a burning window.
A safer rescuing bet would be this:
My children, who are physically stronger than their mother. Sad.
My son’s cub scout den visited the Orem Fire Station yesterday for a VIP tour. I now know the answers to the following hilarious questions that a group of 8 year olds would find answer-worthy and inevitably ask:
* Can a fire truck drive through a car wash?
* What happens if you are driving to a fire in a fire truck and one of the guys on your fire truck gets hurt or chokes?
* What happens if there is a fire right across the street from the station? Do you drive the truck over or just walk?
* What happens when you run out of air in your air tank?
* If you get a fire call and you are in the shower, do you rinse your hair first or just leave the shampoo in and run?
* Why is this helmet all sweaty and smelly?
If you would like to know the answers to any of those questions, shoot me or my son an email… we would be happy to impart all of our new-found fire safety knowledge to you.

Oh how fun! I remember visiting the fire station when I was young. All I wanted to do was slide down the pole. I wasn’t allowed.
You look good behind the wheel!

I’m not convinced that you couldn’t roll up and save the day - you look mighty competent to me. And cute, by the way.
Looks like you had a great time.

I want the answers to ALL of the questions! They are brilliant - rinse the shampoo or not? Very astute. My dad’s a firefighter and I never thought to ask him any of those things…

Maybe I have the mind of an 8 year old but I’ve wondered many of those questions myself. Another one I want to know is what if one of them is going #2 and the alarm goes off? What then? I really wanna know!
