Okay I admit it. I have a a bizarre desire to watch fire. Big Fires! If I hear more than one emergency vehicle, no matter the time, I'm likely to jump into the car and chase the vehicles in the hope of of seeing a good fire. Extreme rubbernecking!!! Don't get me wrong, I don't want to start the fire, nor for that matter do I want to put it put (that's a job for the professionals, and what an awesome job they do) however I will go out of my way to watch a good emergency.
Yesterday for instance, I played golf, had a reasonable game, managed to get 28 stableford points but I was a little distracted. I had received a text stating there was something happening and an hour or so later, I could see a helicopter hovering and smoke in the distance.
On the way home from golf, the road was blocked and I could see several fire trucks and police cars, and the smoke. So I made my way around the back streets, and I got as close as I could. I was mesmerized by the fireys in action, impressed by the salvo's and their awesome food truck and I managed to get chatting to a woman who actually worked in the factory that was ablaze!
I spent about 45 minutes there, ah good clean fun.
One of the best Christmas days I had ( cos I don't really care about them so much!) was when the power line from the post to the house suddenly removed itself and landed on the iron fence. We called the fireys and had them come around and cordon us off. There was a cute firewoman there too. It was so exciting!!! I even kept some of the tape they cordoned us off with!
Maybe I should date a firey!
Anyway, that's my confession. I feel so much better now :)
