El Presidente Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 » Just want to say hello. » » I am from NJ and a firefighter who loves CC's. Welcome gostpost! We have a local member who is a firefighter although the last fire he fought appears to be at his BBQ three years ago when the sausages got out of control. However, he is a hell of a card player :-D

However, he is a hell of a card player :-D I was driving to work a few years back when a firetruck pulled up behind me all lights and sirens going. I changed lanes...it changed lanes behind me. I changed lanes again and it did the same. I pulled over thinking that my Landrover was on fire......those who own Landy's know that the Brits have a sense of humour. Jumped out of the truck and looked up to see a contingent of firefighters led by my mate Myles....rolling around laughing.
gostgost Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 All, Thanks for the welcome aboard. El Presidente, Thank you for the 2 great stories but I think I can out do you and not by choice. This past May my wife and I brought a new townhouse as my wife is a teacher and off from school beginning in the middle of June has our house up and running by the end of July. So she decided to have a few girlfriends over for a little breakfast get together. Please note that my wife does not cook. So she decides that she is going to make what’s called monkey bread, pancakes and whatever. So during her cooking she accidental spilled butter in the oven and thought that she cleaned all of it up. Think again…………. She continued cooking other breakfast things and then needed to go downstairs to tidy up a bit. When she returned to the kitchen the floor is filled with smoke she opens the windows and all the smoke started billowing out the windows. One of her girlfriends arrived and saw the smoke and called 911 to report a fire at my house. The call going over the radio activated numerous pieces of equipment except for my company being that we are at the other end of the district. Well you know my crew heard the call and to say the least my crew was up and jumping into their gear knowing that this was real and my house. My crew not caring the trouble we can into decides were going and I call headquarters telling them we in service. My counter part at another fire house hears what’s going but does not understand why but decides to take over in our district and another truck company replaces him to keep the coverage going. As the first due fire engine pulls up to my house the captain confirms that there is a heavy smoke condition coming from my house and that everyone is out of the house and safe. We are now pulling up to my house and my crew is ready to fight as I jump off the rig and run for the house my crew is setting up the ladder and other equipment and I run for the house and run into the captain of the first due engine company as he is walking out of the house with my wife’s cooking which stops me dead in my tracks. He looks down at the pan and says “monkey bread I think” and begins laughing. I just looked down at the pan and then at him and begin to laugh. I then begin scanning the street for my wife who is now hiding behind the fire chief and says “Honey it was just a little smoke and not really a big deal, right” What I can say? I just throw my hands up in the air and say why me??? Fire Chief – hey captain where is ladder 4? Oh yeah their covering our district and ladder 2 is covering ladder 4 and were covering ladder 3 and Fire Chief “STOP! Forget that I asked” I think I heard him ask why me Lord why? As he got into his car. When I got home the next day my wife looked at me with a straight face and said honey I met all the neighbors yesterday and their all really nice and happy that we live here yeah why is that? They all like monkey bread…………………
El Presidente Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 ...the only thing worse than a wife who cannot cook is one who thinks she can ;-)
