Back in prehistoric days, when I in the VFD, a dept. just outside our jurisdiction got sued because they didn't answer a call fast enough to suit a home owner. The house was too involved when they got there. She actually sued the Volunteers. I'm still flabbergasted about that one. We had to answer their calls for about 6 months until it got sorted out. :shock: That summer, we had a big drought here and lots of call outs because of people using burn barrels and setting the country side on fire from the cinders. Someone was starting fires too in the woods in our district. I never even thought about a fire bug until after the 5th or 6th call out that day. I was off of work that day and I was completely worn out from going to calls and putting out fires. Heck of a way to spend days off...lol Anyway me and old fellow that were active, drove the fire truck back to the barn and got out and started getting the equipment off. I was good and tired and very angry by then and spouted off that I wish I could catch who ever was starting these fires in the woods. I would gladly beat their arse and hang whoever it was. Now this young guy went flying out of the firehouse and jumped in his car and tore off out of there. I turned to the old partner and asked him what was up with that? He looked at me and said that was the firebug and the chief was working on catching him in the act. He didn't come back and eventually got caught starting one in the woods about two weeks later. The sad thing is that he had already been to juvenile detention for doing the very same thing! What? Who let him into the dept.??? Never did understand that one either.

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
