There was a fire in some tenements near where i lived when i was a boy, and i remember the excitement when the fire emgine arrived. I wanted to become a fireman before i saw what they had to battle with that day. i think a chimney had caught fire, and there was more smoke than flames, but it didn't take long for the alarm to be raised and the engine to arrive with all its noise and lights. no-one was injured, but there was a lot of mess and it took a long time for them to find out where the fire was blazing up the chimney. Some of my kids who lived in that flat were really worried about their cat,but it hadn't been in the house and had been out hunting nearby.
My brother ended up emigrating to new zealand and joining the fire service there, and i wonder if that's because of all the excitement of that day! | | |
